Middle Brother (staged reading) by Eric Sharp:
Sep 12: 7 pm Mon

Adopted to the Midwest as a toddler, Billy buys
a one-way plane ticket to Korea. With help from
a chorus of wayward street vendors, he
unexpectedly reunites with his older birth
brother, and must somehow reconcile his modern
American life with his newfound Korean past.
MIDDLE BROTHER is a jet-setting, theatrical
journey exploring loss, reunion,and unanswered
questions from the Korean adoptee experience.
Directed by Eric Sharp.

Upcoming Levity Players Group Shows

Murder at The Masquerade Ball or Excuse Me,
Waiter, There Are Fangs in My Soup! – Larissa
Culaard, the wife of Vladimir Culaard, an
overworked bio-tech executive, has organized a
masquerade ball that is a masquerade in every
sense of the word. In reality, this business
party is really going to be an intervention
designed to confront Vladimir with his
workaholic ways and their impact upon his
family. Some eccentric relatives from the old
country are present and the entire event
backfires when someone drives a stake into the
heart of Vladimir.

The ticket price includes the show, a three
course dinner, and unlimited soft drinks.
