70/70 Project Culminates Tonight with Star-Studded Reading of Unexpected Tenderness

Barefoot Theatre Company will present the closing event of the 70/70 Project, a yearlong, worldwide festival showcasing 70 plays by Israel Horovitz. The celebration features a reading of Unexpected Tenderness, one of Horovitz's most personal plays, live music, a surprise guest host and more.

The reading of Unexpected Tenderness, directed by Terry Kinney, a founding member of the famed Steppenwolf Theatre Company, will feature performers including Michael Stulbarg, Annabella Sciorra, Lynn Cohen, Anna Chlumsky and Sol Freider, as well as members of the Barefoot Theatre Company. A study of family dysfunction, the play examines the relationship between a father and son and presents, in the character of Archie Stern, one of Horovitz's most complex characters.
