Irvington Town Hall Theater presents the Stage Door Reading Series on Thursday, April 13, 2017 at 7pm.
The reading series offers audiences a chance to hear an original play read by a group of actors without all of the technical aspects that accompany a full production. The Burning of New York by Samuel Harps tells the true story of an alleged conspiracy by free blacks and sympathetic whites, which resulted in a series of fires in 1741 that plagued lower Manhattan. There will be a Q&A with the award-winning Mr. Harps after the reading to discuss the play. Mr. Harps interned at New York’s New Dramatist where he studied with noted playwrights August Wilson and Charles Oyamo Gordon and was later accepted as a member of the prestigious Negro Ensemble Company playwright’s program.
