An Evening with Terrence McNally

Description

Terrence McNally, a four-time Tony Award winner and considered by many to be one of America's most important playwrights today, will read from his new book, Selected Works, A Memoir in Plays, on Friday, April 1 at 7 p.m. at the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site. This special fundraising event will benefit local LGBT theater, Buffalo United Artists (BUA). Interspersed with McNally's readings, BUA actors will read scenes from the author's plays.

Doors will open at 6 p.m., with TR Inaugural Site docents on hand to answer questions about the site where Theodore Roosevelt became America's 26th President. The reading, starting at 7 p.m., will be followed by a private book-signing and reception with wine and hors d'oeuvres in the F. Scott Fitzgerald Room of The Hotel Lenox. The $125 ticket price includes admission to the reading, the reception at the Lenox, and a signed copy of McNally's book. A $200, two-person package includes admission to the reading, reception for two people, and a signed copy of the book. A limited number of reading only tickets are also available for $50.
