Paul Zindel’s The Secret Affairs of Mildred Wild
Sunday, Feb 4, 2024 | 4-6 pm
Members $10, Nonmembers $15
Candy shop owner Mildred Wild has virtually escaped from reality into the dream world conjured up by the 3,000 movies she has eagerly devoured. And when the outside world does intrude—via her husband; his meddling sister; their hard-boiled landlady; and more — Mildred meets each crisis with a hilarious fantasy-scene drawn from her precious lode of old movies.
Marking an imaginative new departure for its Pulitzer Prize-winning author, this madcap, bizarre comedy blends poignance, fantasy and offbeat hilarity in detailing the exploits of its wonderfully wacky heroine. "…an immensely funny, imaginative, inventive comedy…" -ABC-TV.

Theatre of the Mind: We read – you imagine
Our mission is two-fold: to raise money and increase public awareness of Art Center Sarasota and to stimulate imagination and entertain audiences by presenting readings of interesting and worthwhile plays. Without the significant financial demands of a full production, we hope to provide a significant addition to the public awareness and exposure to plays of importance and intellectual value. Our themes highlight the creative spark. The well-rehearsed voice actors communicate the full intellectual, emotional and athletic content of the literature to the audience: The imagination of the audience provides the sets costumes and props.
Thank you again for your support of our THIRTEENTH season!
