Press Release: Reader's Theatre at the David A. Howe Public Library

Our most recent Valley Theatre show, The Star Spangled Girl, opened exactly one year ago today.  It's hard to believe it's been that long!  We are planning a bigger event later in 2017, but right now we are working on a night of reader's theater with the David A. Howe Public Library.  Here's a little teaser of things to come.

2017 marks the 80^th anniversary of the David A. Howe Public Library in its current location.  To celebrate this landmark year they will be re-creating an evening of one-act plays that were first performed in the Nancy Auditorium in July of 1937.  Presented in a reader’s theater format the plays include Thursday Evening by Christopher Morley, Wisdom Teeth by Rachel Field and Alexander’s Horse by Maurice Baring.  The evening will be hosted by Director Nic Gunning and his two predecessors, Michelle La Voie (director of the Olean Public Library) and Brian Hildreth (director of the Southern Tier Library System).  This library sponsored program is free and open to the public on Friday, July 14 at 7pm in the Nancy Howe Auditorium of the David A. Howe Public Library located at 155 N. Main Street, Wellsville, NY, 14895.
