Invitation to a reading of “Caboose”
Scriptwriters/Houston and Theatre Suburbia invite you to a free reading of an exciting, mysterious, surreal, stylized, sometimes absurd and ultimately romantic two-act play, “Caboose,” written by S/H member Fernando Dovalina. The play will be read at 2 p.m., Sunday, April 27, at Theatre Suburbia, 5201 Mitchelldale St., Suite A-3, Houston, TX 77092. Synopsis: Two aging gay men find themselves stranded in a caboose of a moving freight train. They have no idea why they’re there; they don’t even know who they are, or if they know each other. They argue. They also flirt. Suddenly, the train stops, and they see two younger men in an apartment across the tracks. The younger men also see the older men, and the sense of mystery grows. The four men sense that they have something in common, but what? |
