Parallel 45’s Reading Series

Feb. 18, 2023

Earlier this month, Traverse City’s Parallel 45 Theatre announced that they were canceling their spring and summer 2023 activities, sharing in a letter on their website, “While we were able to keep our doors open - and our artists and administrators employed - through a global pandemic, it proved to be a tremendous strain on the organization and revealed the need to reevaluate our operating model.” That means one of the few times to catch them this year is at their winter Reading Series, held in the brand-new Alluvion entertainment space at Commongrounds Cooperative in TC. Thursday, Feb. 23, at 6pm, P45 will tackle The Children, a play that focuses on “two retired nuclear scientists resid[ing] in an isolated cottage by the sea as the world around them crumbles.” Marie Antoinette, a retelling of the famous queen’s life, follows on March 9, with Smokefall, a family drama with splashes of magical realism, wrapping up the season on March 22.
