CVRep Writers Studio To Present 7th Annual TALES FROM THE TWILIGHT CAFE

The CVRep Writers Studio will present its 7th Annual "Tales from the Twilight Café" program of staged readings in late June. The readings will be held on the mainstage at the new CVRep Playhouse in Cathedral City on Sunday, June 30, at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $15 and available through the CVRep box office at 760-296-2966 or https://cvrep.org/tickets

"Each year the Twilight Café is the culmination of our studio's season with a program that includes a variety of pieces in different forms that our members have worked on throughout the year," said Andy Harmon, director of the readings and head of the Writers Studio. "This is a 'magazine-style' show, so there's something for everyone."

"Our Twilight Café is not meant to be a show in the conventional sense," said Harmon. "It's an opportunity for audience members and the writers alike to celebrate the act of writing and inspire each other's creativity."

He added that the event has inspired many local writers to join the studio. "We started out with three adventurous writers in 2013 and now have more than 20 active members."
