The Modern Drama Discussion Group
of Washington, DCNow playing: August 10, 2008
Each month, 35-50 Footlights members meet over dinner with playwrights, directors, and scholars to discuss modern drama. We read the plays on our own, meet at inexpensive restaurants near Washington-area metro stations, and eventually attend performances of most of the plays we've discussed. You can attend our dinner-discussions, join our theater trips, or both.
Membership is free. We do ask that you read the plays for discussion in advance. A $5 donation at dinner-discussions to cover expenses is suggested. You pay for dinner and theater tickets. Footlights always gets group rates at local theaters. Contributions to Footlights are tax-deductible.

The Titans by Robert McElwaine
In the spirit of the current political season, Footlights followed its successful June discussion of "Nixon's Nixon" with our July discussion of Robert McElwaine's play, "The Titans," about JFK and Khrushchev. Kennedy and Khrushchev's assessment of one another prevented a nuclear Armageddon during our lifetime. Do you remember the time? Did you feel the threat?
McElwaine's THE TITANS is having its world premiere at American Century Theater. Director Jack Marshall led our July discussion.
Footlights will see THE TITANS on Sunday, August 10 at 2:30 p.m. at The American Century Theater, Gunston Theater II, 2700 S. Lang St, in Arlington, VA. Contact Robin Larkin for tickets, $18. Send your check, payable to Footlights, to Robin, 5800 Nicholson Ln, #L07, Rockville, MD 20852.
See you at the Footlights!
