Take a break from our full-size mainstage productions and join us in theotherspace as we continue our Roxy Reads series with a reading of WAITING FOR GODOT by Samuel Beckett.

Two wandering tramps, Vladimir and Estragon, wait by a lonely tree, to meet up with Mr. Godot, an enigmatic figure in a world where time, place and memory are blurred and meaning is where you find it. The tramps hope that Godot will change their lives for the better. Instead, two eccentric travelers arrive, one man on the end of the other’s rope. The results are both funny and dangerous in this existential masterpiece, read by Ryan Bowie, Matthew Combs and Ian Alexander Erbe.

Stick around after the reading for a talkback with our company of actors, when we will discuss your thoughts, impressions and analyses of the selected work, and then our professional company will weigh in with their opinions to create a dialogue about the piece.

1939 Hollywood is abuzz. Legendary film producer David O. Selznick is five weeks into shooting Gone With the Wind when he realizes the script is awful, and that the director doesn’t have a clue. So what’s an all-powerful movie mogul to do? While fending off the film’s stars, gossip columnists and his own father-in-law, Selznick sends a car for famed screenwriter Ben Hecht and pulls formidable director Victor Fleming from the set of The Wizard of Oz. Summoning both to his office, he locks the doors, closes the shades, and on a diet of bananas and peanuts, the three men, aided by Selznick’s assistant Miss Poppenghul, labor over five days to fashion a screenplay that will become the blueprint for one of the most successful and beloved films of all time.
