THEATER VOICES opens its 37th season with four free staged reading performances of “The Typographer’s Dream” by Adam Bock, directed by soon-to-be Russell Sage College graduate Cam Richardson, over the weekend of Oct. 18-20, 2024.
THE STORY: As a typographer, a geographer and a stenographer strive to explain their work, we come to discover the difference between our jobs and who we are. With humor and heart, this play explores how work weaves its way into the fabric of our lives. It’s a quirky, honest look at how we define ourselves and tell our stories. The Washington Post said: “We may not all be versed in typography, geography or stenography, but we can understand the need to find meaning, direction and permanence in a bewildering, changeable world.”
PERFORMANCES: “The Typographer’s Dream” will be presented on stage at Steamer No. 10 Theatre, 500 Western Ave., Albany on:
- Friday, Oct. 18, 7:30 p.m.
- Saturday, Oct. 19, 2:30 p.m. & 7:30 p.m.
- Sunday, Oct. 20, 2:30 p.m.
NOTE ON COVID SAFETY: For the 2024-25 season, mask-wearing is optional at Theater Voices shows (subject to change based on CDC and community health guidelines).
