Familiar Theme in Next SJCT Readers Theatre

Just how much should a property owner be able to do with his own property? That question has a humorous slant in San Juan Community Theatre’s next free On Book! Readers Theatre on Wednesday and Thursday, February 4 and 5 at 7:30 p.m.

Set in Maine, Travis Baker’s charming comedy, One Blue Tarp, focuses on property owner David Stillman who believes he has the right to have a big pile of junk under a blue tarp in his front yard even if it is an eyesore to tourists and his wife.

The play was named the “2013 Best Play for Maine” in the prestigious Clauder New England Playwright Competition, and was a finalist in the 2011 Eugene O’Neill Playwright’s Workshop.

Directed by Penelope Haskew, the reading features islanders Paul Walsh, Dennis Busse, Madelyn Busse, Elizabeth Tarte, Luke Fincher, Ethan Schmidt, Debbi Fincher and Tori Zehner.

Doors open at 7:00 p.m. with festival seating in the Gubelman Theatre. Admission is FREE. For more information on the series and other Theatre events, visit www.sjctheatre.org.
