The Year Without a Summer: A Staged Reading

The Year Without a Summer by Greer DuBois, previously featured online for the 2020 Wisconsin Wrights Festival at Forward Theatre and the Milwaukee Chamber Theater, will soon be presented *in person* for the first time, in a workshop reading directed by Ned Baker. We need your help to get it on its feet in August!

The play itself is the tale of a band of European misfits (one of whom bears a striking and wacky resemblance to Stendhal) hiding and colliding in an Alpine villa during the eponymous summer-less summer of 1816, with salonnière Matilda Dembowski presiding over the mischief.

Your funds will help us:

-pay our actors and director

-print and distribute scripts

-provide COVID tests

Any excess funds raised will be evenly distributed among the members of our creative team.

Our final product will be a free reading in Evanston, Illinois on the evenings of Saturday, August 20th and Sunday, August 21st. All are invited to join us!

With our thanks,

Greer DuBois and Shawn Morgenlander, producers
