Play Reading by The Theater Project: "By the Shores of Alluvtoomey," Act 1

The Friends of the Cranford Public Library are pleased to sponsor a
staged reading of Act I of “By the Shores of Alluvtoomey” by Michael
McGoldrick. “By the Shores of Aluvtoomey” is a crazy family comedy that
investigates why storytelling is so important to our lives. It depicts a
wildly impractical father who has devoted the past few years of his
life to writing a series of bad fantasy novels. As a result, he has
squandered all his money and is in danger of losing his family's New
York townhouse. His daughter, Cynthia, struggles to find a solution to
this impending disaster, all the while stumbling to find her way toward
love. The script will be read by members of the Theater Project, an
acclaimed, New Jersey-based professional theater group, and the recent
winner of two New Jersey Tony Awards. Mr. McGoldrick is a New Jersey
playwright and a member of the Theater Project's play writing group. His
short play, "Snuffed," premiered as part of the Theater Project's
one-act festival in March. The reading will be followed by a critical
discussion among the author, the actors, the director, and members of
the audience. Admission to the program is free and all are welcome. Act
II of the play will be read on November 23 at 2:00 p.m., also in the
Cranford Community Center.
