More readings!!

Join veteran Columbus performers Lori Cannon, Anita Davis, Ken Erney, and Christopher Roche as they explore more plays from the Limbo Project--­ten minute plays that in some way deal with the topic of Limbo.

Wednesday evening January 30th, at 7:30, New Works Lab, Drake Performance and Event Center, 1849 Cannon Drive, on The Ohio State University campus; free parking in the lot between the towers, just south of the Ohio Stadium.

The plays are:

Craig Abernethy, San Diego, California: That Day
a couple reexamines their relationship on (and because of) 9/11
Joe Feinstein, West Bloomfield, Michigan: Real Love
a would-be actor finally gets a professional job, to the consternation of his long-suffering wife. And it’s ­understudying Bob Cratchit in Christmas Carol
Karen Jeynes, Cape Town, South Africa: Go Home Affairs
A waiting room where the afterlife becomes an object lesson in bureaucracy
Michael Kimball, Cape Neddick, Maine: Henny and Hitler in Hell
Adolph Hitler discovers that his hell is to spend eternity in a theatre’s green room, never getting a chance to go on. Then Henny Youngman enters . . .
Lisa Soland, Granada Hills, California: The Other Shoe
a man learns something startling about his date, then the other shoe drops ­from the designated shoe dropper

And January 30th is another feast day for St. Gregory of Nazantius--those Eastern Orthodox Saints get a couple of feast days because of the shifts in the calendar. St. Gregory has a third feast day from the Roman Church, but that's passed--
