Food for Thought, the popular series of plays performed over lunch, will switch locales for its sixth season, which begins on September 12th. The play readings will now be situated at The Players Club (16 Gramercy Park South) instead of old stomping grounds National Arts Club (20 Gramercy Park South).

According to artistic director Susan Charlotte, a bigger venue was needed for the series, which will kick off the new season with readings of Dorothy Parker and Clifford Odets plays--the little-seen Actor Strike Benefits and Waiting for Lefty, respectively. On October 25th, Food for Thought will break in the Players Club with a black-tie gala featuring the premieres of several one-acts.

While Parker is best-known for her poems, stories, and one-liners, she also dipped into playwrighting--The Ladies of the Corridor is her most famous play. Odets was also the author of The Flowering Peach, Awake and Sing!, The Country Girl, and Golden Boy, among others.

In the meantime, the 2004-2005 season will come to a close with Lynn Redgrave's reading of her autobiographical one-woman show Nightingale, while a Tennessee Williams obscurity called Why Do You Smoke So Much, Lily will be unveiled with Penny Fuller and Tasha Lawrence in its New York premiere on the same day.
