Theater

Tucson playwright Gavin Kayner will premiere his new play, 'Noche de los Muertos,' at Beowulf Alley Theatre in November. But first, a staged reading of the piece. This is your chance to see art in the making, and, after the reading, join the discussion with the playwright. Tell him what you think works, doesn't work, and talk about what it all means, anyway. The story is set in the Sonoran Desert in the 1920s, and it's rich with the rites and rituals that give this area such great layers. The reading is at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday, and Aug. 23 at Beowulf, 11 S. Sixth Ave. It's pay what you can. 882-0555.
