The Stratford Library has announced a special holiday readers theatre event. A new play, “Joy Meets Girl” by Kimberly Hill, will be presented in a staged reading in the Library Lovell Room. It is free and open to the public.

“Joy Meets Girl” is a Christmas screwball romantic comedy about a woman’s desperate search to find love in her hopelessly neurotic relationships and the truth of life - before wedding bells chime. She has 20 minutes. Playwright Kimberly Hill has written for the TV series “Cheers, “Family Ties”, “On Day at a Time”, “Facts of Life”, “Empty Nest” and “It’s A Living” among many others. She developed pilots for Paramount and, in New York, wrote a script for Macy’s NBC Thanksgiving Day Parade.

The cast for the Library reading includes Carolyn Savoia of Norwalk, Qesar Veliu (Shelton), Tom Rushen (Stratford), Richard Warren (Milford), Joan Barere (New Haven) and Sib Law (Stratford). Law, who will direct the reading, is Co-Founder of SquareWrights Playwright Center which has debuted hundreds of works by emerging playwrights. He is also a Featured Playwright of Alaska’s Last Frontier Theater Conference.
