The next installment of the new Evening with the Arts program organized by the Wheeling Arts and Cultural Commission is scheduled for Monday, April 30 at 7:00 pm in the auditorium at the Ohio County Public Library.
The event will feature a reading of the play "CATCH & RELEASE" by Wheeling playwright, Jeremy Richter. Written (as a one act) in 2008, "CATCH AND RELEASE" won Best Play at the West Virginia Theatre Conference and was awarded Best Original Script at the Southeastern Theatre Conference. Now a full-length play that has never previously been read or produced, it was recently named a semi-finalist with the WordBridge Playwriting Laboratory in Baltimore.
"CATCH & RELEASE" is an honest play about perspective, choice and consequences, told through the interaction of four friends as they evolve from children to adults. Jacob, Jason, Rachel and Andrea learn to live and lose while facing crushes, divorce, parenthood, public speaking and a bright, orange balloon.
The Wheeling Arts & Cultural Commission promotes and develops artistic and cultural activities and initiatives that stimulate economic development and advance the quality of life and vibrancy of the greater Wheeling area. Evening with the Arts programs are free and open to the public. Please call the library at 304-232-0244 for more information.
