The Delaware County Community College Drama department presents its fall student theatre production of Jenny Stafford’s play “Beating a Dead Horse.” Steve and Marty Martin are two brothers on the brink of closing their failing pet funeral home, “A Nice Farm Upstate with Plenty of Room to Run Around.” That is, until an eccentric, rich old lady offers them a fortune for the funeral of her nearly dead racehorse, Sir Trots-A-Lot. There’s only one problem: the horse won’t die!
Join us Thursday, November 19 at 5 p.m. for a Free Pre-Show Talk with the playwright, Jenny Stafford!
Reception to follow | Light refreshments will be served
Jenny is an award-winning playwright, bookwriter, and lyricist whose works have been heard on Broadway and beyond. She is Associate Professor of Theater at Temple University’s School of Theater, Film and Media Arts.
(While registration for the pre-show talk is free, tickets to the play are sold separately and carry a fee. You do not need a ticket to the play to attend the pre-show talk.)
