One of the reasons The Great Gatsby is such an enduring book is the beautiful language of the novel, some passages reading like poetry. It deserves to be listened to.
This weekend, actors from the award-winning Curtain Players will be performing a readers' theater adaptation of the novel. The script was adapted by William B. Jones, Jr. directly from the book, preserving as much as possible of Fitzgerald's words while still conveying the plot and major themes in a compressed time.
There are two opportunities to catch the performance:
Saturday, May 3rd, 7:30 p.m. at the Asbury United Methodist Church, 55 West Lincoln Avenue, Delaware, OH (map and directions)
Sunday, May 4th, 2:00 pm., City of Powell Village Green Amphitheater, 47 Hall St., Powell, OH (map and directions)

I really enjoyed the reading/performance of The Great Gatsby on Sunday. The troupe from Curtain Players did a wonderful job and really brought Fitzgerald's beautiful words to life! I'm impressed with all the events your library has set up in celebration of this classic novel and am sorry that I wasn't able to attend more of them. If I wasn't scheduled to be out of town on Saturday, I would definitely be there at your closing event for The Big Read. I hope everything goes off without a hitch.
