Wharton School of Business '06 Alumni Co-Hosts Starred 2006 Wharton Graduates Sonaly Aditya, Idehen Aruede, Annie Bystryn, NEW YORK -- On Thursday, July 26, 2007, Diverse City Theater Company ("DCT") and graduates of Wharton School of Business Class 2006 co-hosted an event, A NIGHT WITH WHARTONITES, a reading of excerpts from Kathleen Tolan's hit 80's play, A WEEKEND NEAR MADISON, as part of DCT's audience development program. Produced by Wharton School of Business '06 graduate Bryce Goodwin, the reading featured fellow '06 graduates Sonaly Aditya, Idehen Aruede, Annie Bystryn, Brian Eng and Brigette Lumpkins, directed by DCT's Artistic Director Victor Lirio. Originally produced at Actors Theater of Louisville's Humana Festival in 1983 with Academy Award winner Holly Hunter, A WEEKEND NEAR MADISON is a play about old college friends from the '60s reuniting after a five-year separation. They confront each other with their choices of political involvement, careers, sexuality, and parenthood. Diverse City Theater Company thanks the playwright, Ms. Kathleen Tolan, for the special permission to read excerpts from her play and for her enthusiastic support. The event was held at the Philippine Consulate General Hall located at 556 Fifth Avenue, 2nd Floor, in New York City with a post-reading wine reception sponsored by Martha Clara Vineyards. |
