The Modern Drama Discussion Group
of Washington, DCNow playing: May 15, 2012
The Whipping Man
Each month, 35-50 Footlights members meet over dinner with playwrights, directors, and scholars to discuss modern drama. We read the plays on our own, meet at inexpensive restaurants near Washington-area metro stations, and eventually attend performances of most of the plays we've discussed. You can attend our dinner-discussions, join our theater trips, or both.
Membership is free. We do ask that you read the plays for discussion in advance. A $5 donation at dinner-discussions to cover expenses is suggested. You pay for dinner and theater tickets. Footlights always gets group rates at local theaters. Contributions to Footlights are tax-deductible.
On Tuesday, May 15, 6:30 p.m., Footlights will discuss Matthew Lopez's The Whipping Man. Our guests will be Alexander Strain and Mark Hairston, cast members of Theater J's current production of The Whipping Man.
We'll meet at Casa Fiesta, 4910 Wisconsin Avenue, NW, Washington, DC. The restaurant is between the Tenleytown and the red line Friendship Heights Metro stations. Street parking is available. The cost for the buffet dinner is $15. The price includes tax and tip. We appreciate a $5 contribution to Footlights. Cash or check; no credit cards. Wine, beer, and cocktails are available from the bar. Phyllis Bodin, 301-986-1768 or phylbo@verizon.net, is taking reservations for our dinner-discussion. You may come for the discussion only if you wish.
Dinner is at 6:30 p.m. and the discussion begins at 7:30, ending no later than 9:30. If you have to cancel your dinner reservation please let Phyllis know by noon on May 15 so we have an accurate count for the restaurant.
