The Acting Company - Salon Series

The Acting Company’s John McDonald SALON READINGS offers a unique opportunity to see captivating but rarely-produced plays, performed by prominent New York stage actors and guest stars. Each reading is followed by a reception where you will have the chance to interact with the cast and director over wine and refreshments. The series provides financial support for The Acting Company’s Literacy Through Theater Program in New York City Schools during our annual New York Season.

The SALON SERIES – delightful evenings to remember!

Insanity seems to run in the Brewster family. As an act of charity,
