Scandinavian American Theater Company Presents Reading of REFUGEES on 2/29
Refugees takes place in the home of an Icelandic family in Hlin Agnarsdottir's highly relevant play from 2010. Vala returns to Iceland from New York to find her mother's house occupied by her two unemployed brothers, Bo and Dan, and Dan's Estonian girlfriend, Elena. It turns out that the brothers are not the only ones living off the goodwill of the mother; the granddaughter, Sara, is hiding refugees in the basement. The family's crises merge with both the Icelandic economic crisis and the international refugee crisis on many levels. But with a clever hint to the Old Testament's nativity of Jesus, this story may have a happy ending . . .

THE BOYS OF SUMMER Heads to Broadway in 2012
The Boys Of Summer, one of the best-loved books in all of sports literature and a landmark document of the American experience, will be coming to the Broadway stage in 2012. The rights to the perennial favorite by author Roger Kahn, who has been called 'the dean of American sports writers,' have been acquired, and his celebrated tale of the love affair between the storied Brooklyn Dodgers and their fans - which has continued for more than half a century since the team left Brooklyn - is being adapted for the stage in an exciting, multimedia-rich production that will delight audiences of all ages.
