ShawChicago presents…..Village
Wooing
(A Romantic Comedy).  Since 1994, ShawChicago has performed readings of the works
by George Bernard Shaw and his contemporaries at the Ruth Page Center for the
Arts in Chicago.  Just in time for
Valentine’s Day, they will present a staged reading of Village Wooing. This is
the story of a love affair that begins on the high seas aboard the pleasure
ship Empress of Patagonia between a grouchy travel writer and a shop girl on
holiday.  It reaches its climax in a
village shop on the Wiltshire Downs when the two happen to cross paths
again.  A laugh-out-loud comedy, Shaw’s
story captures the true hilarity of relationships. In advance of this special
program, we encourage you to attend the presentation on George Bernard Shaw by
ShawChicago outreach coordinator on January 30. Please see page    for details.  Friday, 2/14, 1pm - 2pm; $12 member; $15 non-member  NF8031A
