Tangent Theatre To Present New Play Reading At The Tin Barn In June

Tangent Theatre Company will present a new play reading to be held Saturday, June 8 and Sunday June 9, 2024.

Until the Day is Done by Philadelphia based actor/writer Jared Michael Delaney will be read at the Tin Barn in Clermont NY at 6pm and 2pm respectively; doors open 5pm and 1pm; wine, beer and light snacks available for purchase.

The readings are free, with donations welcomed and encouraged. Set in the Alaskan wilderness, the story centers on the relationship of two couples as they grapple with the unexpected in life and the decisions that accompany their crossroads.

The cast features Tangent's premier ensemble: actors Brenny Campbell, Jeffrey Doornbos, Maggie Adams McDowell and Tangent's Artistic Director Michael Rhodes (all four are members of Actors' Equity Association). Actor and voice-over artist Steven Young will read stage directions; produced by Andrea Rhodes. 

Tangent's readings have become a popular series in Tivoli and beyond, often presented in pubs or restaurants, or similar intimate spaces - including the Stissing Center in Pine Plains and Tivoli's Village Hall. Actors read the plays with scripts in hand, and little or no props, miming or physicality; stage directions are read to orient the audience, move the story along and help visualize the play. Tangent's readings over the past year have enjoyed sold out houses and/or added shows to accommodate demand.  

The presentation of new works is a passion of the company's and the opportunity to read this new piece is exciting: “We champion new works and emerging playwrights. We're so glad Jared is making Tangent part of the mix for our team and audience to experience this story” states Michael Rhodes. And according to Delaney, “I couldn't be more excited to have the Until the Day is Done reading with Tangent. They, and their audiences, show a continued and invested interest in the development of new plays. Who wouldn't want their work to be a part of that community?” A talk-back/Q+A with Delaney will take place after both performances.
