Word Plays in The Fenimore Gallery
Starting in Sept. 2009 -- Sundays at 2:00 pm   $16   Free Parking

If you're one of those people who lingers in your car long after reaching a destination just to hear the end of Garrison Keillor's "The News from Lake Wobegon" or David Sedaris on "This American Life," then Word Plays may be for you.

At Word Plays, superb performers tell rarely heard contemporary and traditional stories about being human. You will discover that Word Plays is a shared experience between the audience and the performer, combining the intensity of a one-person play with the intimacy of a one-on-one conversation.

Each show has its own theme where each story told relates to that theme.

Enjoy the arts in The Fenimore Gallery as the exhibitions and the stories change over the course of the year. Wine, beer and soda are available at the cash bar before the show starts and during intermission. After the show, you can meet the performers. The Gallery is on the second floor above the Box Office, accessible by stairs or elevator.

Proctors now has free parking in the Metroplex Parking Garage, 220 Broadway, near the bakery Villa Italia. Then just walk across the street and enter the Proctors Arcade via the rear entrance. Don't worry about any snow or ice as you enter the Arcade -- the sidewalk automatically melts precipitation.

Word Plays was inspired by 2nd Story, produced by Serendipity Theatre in Chicago.
