Readers Theater Presents: Saving Nature and Karmic Koffee
by Nicola Pearson
Monday, March 30 at 7 pm, Ballinger Room, Shoreline Center , 18560 1st Ave NE, Shoreline, WA 98155
The Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council is proud to present two plays by Nicola Pearson, Saving Nature and Karmic Koffee . Saving Nature is an improbable but compelling story of the rescue of Nature from an industrial building site. Paired with this environmental fantasy is another of Pearson’s short plays. In Karmic Koffee, a brew that can put Starbuck’s to shame is peddled by a young man who wishes good fortune to the world he sells his product to.
A coffee, cookie and discussion time is scheduled after the presentation when audience, playwright, and cast will have the opportunity to exchange ideas about the script.
For more information on these and other Arts Council programs please contact us at 206-417-4645 or go to our website at www.Shorelinearts.net.
