The comedy will be read 3 PM Feb. 23 at IRT's home on West 22nd Street in Manhattan. Reservations are required.
In the play, "Dizzy ditches NYC for her small hometown to figure out the mess that is her life. A freak snowstorm, her best friend's crumbling marriage, the genius kid she baby-sits and the stockboy at the local market make things more complicated. It seems everyone is on the edge of something but no one knows what to do next."
As part of its mission statement, The Irish Repertory Theatre "encourages the development of new works focusing on the Irish and Irish American experience, as well as a range of other cultures." The reading series supports new plays and emerging playwrights.
The Rest of Your Life will be read by Michelle Federer (Anon., Wicked), Meg Gibson (From Above, The Ride Down Mt. Morgan), Austin Lysy (All That I Will Ever Be, The Water's Edge), Malcolm Morano (Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang), Susan Louise O'Connor (The Silent Concerto, Never Swim Alone) and Keith Reddin (Durang/Durang, The Play's The Thing).
