Coming to Guild Hall
The John Drew Theater Lab will present a free staged reading of Roger Rueff’s 1992 play, “Hospitality Suite,” on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.
Set in a small hotel room in Wichita during a business convention, the story focuses on two salesmen and a research scientist for a firm that manufactures industrial lubricants. While waiting for a meeting with a C.E.O. they hope will save their company, they air their conflicting ideas about character, salesmanship, honesty, religion, and love, with less than harmonious results.
David Watson, who will direct and appear in the production, has performed on Broadway in “The Seagull,” with Ethan Hawke and Laura Linney, and in “St. Joan,” with Maryann Plunkett and Elizabeth Marvel. His directing credits include Harold Pinter’s “The Dumb Waiter” and Edward Albee’s “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” among others.
In addition to Mr. Watson, the cast includes Charley Tucker, Matthew Bretschneider, and Elizabeth Meadows Rouse.
Also at Guild Hall, the next speaker in the Table Talk series, on Sunday at 11 a.m., will be Monte Farber, who will discuss the “sixth sense” — intuition, and how to use and develop it.
Mr. Farber is a psychic, the author of 45 metaphysical books and meditation kits, and the co-owner, with his wife, Amy Zerner, an artist and fashion designer, of the Enchanted World Emporium, next to Rowdy Hall in East Hampton. His books have been published by Simon and Schuster, St. Martin’s Press, Chronicle Books, Viking/Penguin, and Sterling and Weiser.
