READING OF A NEW PLAY
April 21, 6:30 p.m.
Grace Cunyus will organize HSPVA classmates–and perhaps other students
affiliated with St. Stephens and Havens Center–to read her new play. The work,
currently in progress, deals with the election of officers to a high school thespian
organization. The intention is to draw on the rich resources of the parish to bring
some cutting-edge theater to Haven’s Center.
