Theatre Aurora has been a central figure in the Town of Aurora cultural landscape for almost 60 years and will be bringing culture to life during this year’s Culture Days.
On September 30 at Aurora Public Library, from 2:30 – 3 p.m., enjoy a live reading of an excerpt from the stage play Visiting Mr. Green which was written by Jeff Baron and premiered in Toronto in January 2012.
The story follows the court ordered visitations between an 86-year-old widower Mr. Green, and a young corporate executive Ross Gardiner.
The readers for this tale are Sergio Calderon, former Executive Director of Theatre Aurora, and Ken Lloyd, a former member of Theatre Aurora and retired principal.
However, the enjoyment of culture in Aurora does not end with Culture Days; in fact, it’s just the beginning.
The 59th season of Theatre Aurora opens on October 19 with the dramatic classic Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller.
Miller’s style, now second nature to audiences, was considered avant-garde when the play opened in 1949. A fitting continuation to Culture Days would be to witness what’s considered one of the greatest plays of the 20th century live, on stage.
Theatre Aurora is located at 159 Henderson Drive. Tickets to the upcoming season are available at the box office or online at www.theatreaurora.com
