Last Monday we had the first reading of Bill D’Agostino’s new children’s play Fairy Tale High School, which Montgomery Theater, Too, will be producing this October. This reading used adult actors even though the play will be performed by student actors in production. We felt that adult actors would be better able to ask Bill the more crucial questions that are valuable at this stage in development. Several alums from Villanova’s M.A. Theatre program and current members of the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival’s Acting Intern Company lent us their time and talent for the evening. The reading was followed by a talk-back with the playwright and dramaturg Mark Costello.
