The big 3-0

So the Studio Theatre is turning 30.

I am older than the Studio Theatre.

Sigh.

Many a festivity is planned for this auspicious occasion - check out their open house this Saturday, September 29, from 10-2, which includes a free backstage tour and a peek at a rehearsal, plus a live jazz trio and free refreshments.

Most compelling, to me, is the free staged reading at 7pm of The Rimers of Eldritch by Lanford Wilson, which is the first play the Studio ever presented. It's free, but you need a reservation (202.332.3300).

If it doesn't quite feel like a celebration without spending cash, then buy tickets for the 8pm performance of Athol Fugard's My Children! My Africa!
