We did a cold reading of Sam Hunter’s newest play tonight at 9:30 p.m.  We assembled in a conference room on the third floor of the Yale Cabaret and began to read a sad, funny new play about loss and family.  The play is funny.  And it’s one of those miraculous pieces where you find yourself guffawing one second and tearing up the next.  Teresa, Dane, Erica, Barret and Aja pulled all the stops (fearless actors!) in a very cold reading of these very new pages.   The play completely is in its nascent stages right now; it’s really not fair of us to say anything else.  Still, it was a great way to spend our last evening in New Haven — all assembled in a room reading and having drinks while it started to rain a little outside.

After the reading, some of us (Cory, Davis, Kara, Aja, Sam, John Baker, Tory (who’s here!), Liz and Asher) headed over to Sullivan’s for the perfect night cap: whisky and beer.
