Curtain Callers Book Group

Every month we will read a new play, then meet up to discuss it and read key scenes out loud together. Perfect for bookworms and thespians alike! This month, we will be reading the comedic, semi-autobiographical Biloxi Blues by Neil Simon. Scripts are available for pick-up at the Circulation Desk. "The story begins with 18-year-old Eugene Morris Jerome from Brooklyn, who is drafted into the United States Army during World War II and is sent to Biloxi, Mississippi for basic training. There he meets a diverse assortment of soldiers, including the gentle and intelligent Arnold Epstein, who is the play's central figure. The piece portrays Epstein's struggle for power with middle-aged, hard-drinking platoon leader Sergeant Merwin J. Toomey." [ Synopsis via Wikipedia ] Curtain Callers is a collaboration with the Brookfield Theatre, and is hosted at their location next door at 184 Whisconier Rd.
