'GHOSTS or The Haunted Therapist' Reading and Discussion

Union County College's The Theater Project will perform a script-in-hand staged reading of New Jersey playwright David Sard's new play, "GHOSTS or The Haunted Therapist," on Saturday at 3 p.m. The production will be followed by a lively discussion with the playwright, director, actors and audience.

The performance will be held at The Theater Project on the Cranford campus of Union County College, 1033 Springfield Avenue. Admission is free. The play deals with what happens when a psychiatrist gets a restless soul with unresolved issues as a client.

David Sard has received multiple awards and recognition for his one-acts and full-length plays. His work has been performed in New York City at the Hudson Guild Theater and at the Lee Strasberg Theater Institute. He is also a member of The Theater Project.

Additional monthly script-in-hand staged readings are scheduled throughout the first half of 2010, including February 20, March 13, April 17 and May 8. The March 13 reading will feature the winners of The Theater Project's annual Young Playwrights Competition, which is open to New Jersey high school students aged 13-18. The deadline for submissions is January 3. More information can be found at thetheaterproject.org.
