TAP’s Winter Play Reading Series Continues

The seventh annual Winter Play Reading Series at Third Avenue PlayWorks (TAP) will continue Feb. 19 with a reading of Mrs. Harrison by R. Eric Thomas, and Feb. 20 featuring The Last Match by Anna Ziegler. Both readings will take place at 7 pm and will be livestreamed.

Mrs. Harrison is about two women and one story. At their 10-year college reunion, Aisha and Holly meet by chance. Is this the first time, or has it just been a long time? They can’t agree. Aisha is a successful Black playwright. Holly is a struggling, white stand-up comedian. Aisha’s most successful play bears a striking resemblance to a tragic event in Holly’s life, but is it a coincidence or theft? They both have a story that they’ve been telling themselves about what happened all those years ago, and they’re both willing to fight for the truth.

Played out under the bright lights of the U.S. Open semifinals, The Last Match pits rising Russian star Sergei Sergeyev against American great Tim Porter in an epic showdown that follows two tennis titans through pivotal moments in their lives both on and off the court.
