If you haven't seen a play yet and need to see one to get your drama paper done, you might consider this, going on Saturday at UCC:
CRANFORD (MAY 9TH, 2009) OPENING NIGHTS ON A SATURDAY AFTERNOON
The Theater Project, Union County College's Professional Theater Company, is proud to present a staged reading series of original plays by members of The Theater Project’s Playwrights Development Workshop, which is led by Artistic Director Mark Spina. These script-in-hand performances offer the excitement and immediacy of actually sitting in on rehearsals with the talented members of The Theater Project.
On Saturday, MAY 9TH, The Theater Project’s series presents BURN OUT written by Ed Lataro and directed by Lou Scarpati.
BURNOUT: Eric has one last chance to escape his hellish government job!
His work helping blind people connect to services may be a noble pursuit, but the bureaucracy is killing him. Eric is perfecting an invention that will allow him to escape the civil service maze.
