This month: Open Mic session and a reading of Broken Wings by Stuart Hoffman

The Dark Room is a place where writers take center stage and their work has
a chance to grow. The Dark Room is an ongoing event held on the second
Tuesday of each month. The Dark Room affords emerging and veteran
playwrights the space and resources to develop new works. It offers a venue
to workshop plays, novels, poems, or any other written work in a supportive,
yet critical environment.

*
7:30pm:* Open Mic Session readings begin
*
8:30pm:* Featured Reading of *Broken Wings* by Stuart Hoffman

*About the Featured Reading:*  Could you choose between an unpredictable
reality and reliable fantasy? A haunting tale of isolation, *Broken
Wings*tells a love story between an elderly man with personal demons
who must make
such a choice and a teenage girl with a lot on her mind. To compensate for
his loneliness, he retreats into his fantasies, imagining conversations
between him and an unknown woman he was in love with as a younger man.
However, as he and the young girl bond over literature, ornithology and life
itself, his subconscious fights back, not giving him a choice in the matter.
What can happen when you allow your imagination to take control of your
emotions?

*Featuring *actors Robert Hawkes, Emily Pucell, Bryan Ritchey, Val Young,
and John Busser.
*
About the Playwright: *A sometimes writer, Mr. Hoffman is usually seen
onstage as an actor. He has worked with various local Cleveland theaters,
including convergence-continuum, Ensemble, CSF, and Cleveland Public
Theatre's recent production of *Fever/Dream*. His short play* A Flock of
Seagulls* was performed at Cleveland Heights Oddyfest and was part of CPT's
2009 Little Box Series. *Broken Wings* is Stuart's first full length play.
