Readers Theater
"Bagatelle"
Offbeat romantic comedy and farce!
Musical interludes performed by Joanne Kant and Michael King
Over the span of fourteen years, Readers Theater has developed a reputation for presenting offbeat, literate material, and razor-sharp satire. On Saturday, March 27, 2010 at 7pm Bagatelle, a program of one-act plays and music will be presented. Artistic Director Kit Briner suggests that fans of Readers Theater will not be disappointed. The audience is invited to stay after the show for a reception featuring above-average refreshments.

Last year’s show performed to a standing-roomonly audience and a good time was had by all. Called “The Two of Us Plus One”, this group has been performing extensively in the Fairfield/ Westchester County area. For more information,

Juror Everett Raymond Kinstler
Everett Raymond Kinstler began his career as a magazine
illustrator. He studied and later taught at the Art Students League,
ultimately made the transition to portraitist and soon became
established as one of the nation’s foremost portrait painters.
Kinstler has painted over one thousand portraits. Six U.S.
Presidents have posed for him with two becoming official White
House portraits: Gerald R. Ford and Ronald Reagan. The Smithsonian
National Portrait Gallery owns one hundred of his works
and in 1999 awarded him the Copley Medal, its highest honor.
He holds two honorary doctorates and is represented in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, Brooklyn Museum and Butler Institute
of American Art. In 2006, the Museum of the City of New York held

on his career is being nationally shown.
