On Jan. 25, the Acting Company will reveal The Truth About Blayds. That is, it will present the 1921 A.A. Milne play by that name as part of its Salon Series of readings. John Miller-Stephany will direct a cast featuring Kristin Bennett, Laura Hicks, Bill Hulings, Laura Kachergus, Lisa McMillan, Thomas Schall, Ian Stuart and Donald Symington.

The comedy is about a poet, who, upon his death, turns out not to be what he seemed in life.
