The audience filling Mojo’s Coffee and More for our reading of ‘Trifles’

We have just finished our third production of our “All the World’s a Stage[d Reading]” series at Mojo’s Coffee.  Attendance for our second show, “Trifles”, performed on July 10th saw a full capacity crowd enjoying the production.  “Trifles” was written by Susan Glaspell in 1916 loosely based on accounts of a murder in Iowa.

Many thanks to director Lisa Ortenzi and actors Bernice Cernoch, Ruth Ann Havasi, Peter Toomey, Max Glenn, and Tim Jones for their work on “Trifles.”

‘Wife for a Life’ drew a large audience at Mojo’s as well!

Our third production, “A Wife for A Life” written by Eugene O’Neill in 1913 concerning two gold miners in the Arizona desert who are in love with the same woman, was performed on August 14th to a near capacity crowd.  Preston Postle, Colin McCauley, Patrick Meehan, and Leigh Ann Miller Spratt gave performances that left the audience quite pleased.  John Hnat directed.
