New Play Reading at the Station -- One Night Only January 29

Mathew Green

Mathew Green, the actor and director who often plies both trades at Urbana's Station Theatre, will be showcasing the playwright side of his talents next week. Green will offer a reading of his new play Vacation at 7:30 pm on Tuesday, January 29, at the Station on Broadway in Urbana.

Green describes the play as a "classic boy-meets-boy (or, rather, boy-confronts-his-feelings-about-boy) tale." This reading will be performed by Tanino Minneci and Maxwell Tomaszewski, with Green's frequent collaborator Katie Baldwin directing.

Previous projects involving the two of them include Rajiv Joseph's Gruesome Playground Injuries, with Green directing Baldin, and Alan Ayckbourn's Absurd Person Singular and John Holvenbach's Love Song, in which they acted opposite each other.

The reading of Vacation is free of charge and open to the public. Although it's scheduled to begin at 7:30, Green notes that it will be preceded by an acoustic set by Brittany Helfrich, which will start at 7 pm.
