FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Live Theatre Workshop proudly presents a free staged reading…
My Life in Sports
An original play written and performed by
Bill Epstein
Details:
Bill Epstein's My Life in Sports is a one-man performance piece, a dramatic memoir or
"memory play" (Tennessee Williams' term for a narrated theater piece based on the
playwright's own life) about identity, masculinity, and sports. Using sports as a lens
through which to reflect on an American boyhood and manhood spanning the last half of
the twentieth century, Epstein's nostalgic and poignant, comic and serious memories
ultimately cohere into, of all things, a love story, a beautiful and devastating love story
about how he lost his wife and became a man, and about how, as the sun's shadow
creeps inexorably across the field, he is learning to live with himself.
Presented as a
free staged reading as part of Live Theatre Workshop's Readers Theatre program.
Free.
Donations appreciated.
Reservations recommended
