Mineral Daily News-Tribune
PETERSBURG The Landes Arts Center is inviting anyone who loves to sing or act to come to its auditorium Tuesday, Aug. 3, at 6:30 p.m. to read through the first draft of the original play “These Months of Our Lives.”
Based on over 30 interviews with people from Hampshire, Hardy, Grant, Pendleton and Mineral County, the play is designed to showcase the ingenuity, dedication and creativity of the community as they faced the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to author/director Vana Nespor, the purpose of such a read-through is to strengthen the show. This gives the author and composers the chance to assess the impact of the music and figure out where to add, change and cut to improve the show.
