Celebrity Reads! Part 4 Premieres on December 17! Appearing will be: John Lithgow, Ed O’Neill, Lorraine Toussaint, Peter Scolari, Laurie Metcalf and Tom Wright. Seven Angels Theatre is part of the theatre5alliance, a group that was formed to promote live theatre during the Covid-19 pandemic and to keep it thriving. The alliance is comprised of the Berkshire Playwrights Lab, Durango PlayFest, the Laguna Playhouse, the New Jersey Repertory Company and Seven Angels Theatre. Like similar groups nationwide, each of these organizations canceled their summer and fall performances due to the corona virus pandemic. FREE event.


The alliance will harness the writing talents of dozens of well-known screen and stage actors to create original vignettes of three to ten minutes each. The project is the brainchild of actor Dan Lauria (The Wonder Years, Lombardi), who called upon friends in the industry to create videos of themselves reading works they’ve written under the banner “Keeping Live Theatre Alive.” “Every sector in society has been impacted negatively by COVID-19, including theaters,” Lauria said. “I wanted to raise awareness of the plight of these organizations while celebrating how actors are keeping their creative juices flowing.”


The online entertainment continues in January with…MYSTERY IN A BOX: MANHUNT January 12-23, 2021 You buy a ticket. You’re delivered a box. Inside the box, you find a variety of objects, along with an invitation… beckoning you to solve a mysterious puzzle. You accept the invitation, and are connected online to a detective who needs the clues in your box to start connecting the pieces… but… the pieces to what? As the plot unfolds into a night of twists and turns – along with virtual live performances that plunge you deeper into a world of noir and intrigue – you realize this is about much more than random items in a box. You begin to wonder: in this virtual game of cat and mouse… who’s chasing who? And why is one of your objects a clock that’s slowly counting down? And… perhaps most importantly of all… what happens when it hits zero? Tickets are $45. Only one ticket needed for the whole family. Or have friends over and have a fun evening.
