Members of the Sylvan Society gathered on Tuesday, August 10th, just a week into rehearsals for Ghost-Writer, the new Michael Hollinger play which will kick off our 23rd season. They shared a family-style dinner courtesy of Delicatessen in the Arden lobby and Independence Foundation Studio, complete with homemade desserts from the Arden staff. The culmination of the evening was the opportunity to hear the cast read through the script of this brand new play. Sylvan members will be invited to see the full production on opening night, scheduled for September 15th.
