In “Food for the Common Cold” by Morgan Talty, a native boy in Eastern Maine uncovers the losses of the past that keep resurfacing in his family’s present. The cast of actors simultaneously narrates the story and brings added life to the characters through voice, expression, and movement. Readers Theater is a style of performance that blends the reading aloud of a book with theatrical elements before a live audience. “And by partnering with Chocolate Church, another Midcoast nonprofit, audiences will get to experience the actors performing the books live in a spacious, local theater.” Tickets are $15 and can be purchased from the Chocolate Church box office or “We’re thrilled to be presenting short stories by these two award-winning authors at our first Readers Theater performance for adult readers,” said Don Lader, Midcoast Literacy’s executive director. A book signing and chance to meet the authors will follow the performance. The event will feature local, professional actors performing short stories by Maine authors: “Food for the Common Cold” by Morgan Talty and “Shuffle, Step” by Monica Wood. Short stories by acclaimed Maine writers Monica Wood and Morgan Talty are coming to the stage! Midcoast Literacy, a non-profit organization that provides free literacy tutoring to people of all ages, is partnering with Chocolate Church Arts Center in Bath to present a live Readers Theater production on Friday, Oct.
