PREVIEW: PAY WHAT YOU CAN
YANKEE TAVERN and FIFTY WORDS had their first Preview last night. Sooo good to share our work with an audience. The CATF audience plays a vital role in the development of new work. The French translation for the word audience: “to assist the piece.” We learned so much last night. If you attended one of the PAY WHAT YOU CAN PREVIEWS please share your comments with me. I am interested in your reactions.
We have final Dress Rehearsals for DEAR SARA JANE, THE HISTORY OF LIGHT and FARRAGUT NORTH today. All three will have their first Preview this evening.
The PAY WHAT YOU CAN PREVIEWS gives everyone an opportunity to experience live-professional theater. We are committed to making CATF affordable to all our patrons. So come…and only pay-what-you-can. AND…please tell your friends. Forward this blog to your social network…And invite them to experience FIVE new American plays.

Hi Ed,
As we discussed following a dress rehearsal of Dear Sara Jane, I was really gripped by it — very powerful and riveting. Victor Lodato’s script is masterful and Joey Parsons just pulled me right into her character. Your direction, as usual, was great.
The other play I’ve seen so far is Yankee Tavern. I enjoyed it very much also, especially the second act when pairs of actors interact with each other in each scene. The first act was a bit too much”Ray” for me. The set was wonderful. I had fun identifying objects on the walls as I waited for the play to start. I also had the pleasure of meeting Lissyl, who did an excellent job of directing.
Looks like the beginning of another great season!
Best wishes,
Charlie
