Synopsis
Johnny Kowski, in his September years, has an argument with his conniving step-daughter, Terry. Clara, his wife, moves in with Terry to re-evaluate her relationship with Johnny. With some help along the way, he tries to win Clara back by doing something she’s wanted for years - painting their house.


The reading for ANTIQUE WHITE was performed on September 26, 2017 at the Jerry Orbach Theater in New York.

When an event such as this takes place, there are always many people to thank but first and foremost, the actors.  They were incredible to give of their time and effort for this project.  The rehearsal on the prior day lasted approximately five hours.  Clete was in his element as he worked with the actors and made necessary changes to accommodate the reading. The next day, there were two readings, one at noon and the other at 3:00 pm.  Both performances were amazing (especially with just a few hours of “rehearsal”) and received a standing ovation from the audience. A good time was had by all... and the actors seemed to have the MOST fun! Additionally, our superb behind the scenes team consisted of: Christie Mossman, Derek DiGregorio, and Kira Jones. Last but not least is our friend, Kathy Fitzgerald, who put together this most amazing group of actors. Ms. Fitzgerald, you are a SUPER STAR!
