Join Us For Another Play Reading Social

This Friday, March 1st, Walterdale Playhouse invites all members to come on out to the theatre to join in the reading of Noel Coward's Present Laughter.  The Event starts at 7:00 p.m. and promises to be a lot of fun.  Join your fellow Walterdalians for this evening of laughter.

A little bit about Present Laughter:

The plot follows a few days in the life of the successful and self-obsessed light comedy actor Garry Essendine as he prepares to travel for a touring commitment in Africa. Amid a series of events bordering on farce, Garry has to deal with women who want to seduce him, placate both his long-suffering secretary and his estranged wife, cope with a crazed young playwright, and overcome his impending mid-life crisis (since he has recently turned forty). The story was described by Coward as "a series of semi-autobiographical pyrotechnics".
