NARROWSBURG, NY — Delaware Valley Arts Alliance presents a performance reading of “A Tender Thing,” at the Krause Recital Hall, Delaware Arts Center, 37 Main St. for one night only on Friday, October 30 at 7:30 p.m.

Directed by Mimi McGurl, “A Tender Thing” is playwright Ben Power’s remix of the greatest love story of all time. What if Romeo and Juliet had lived and loved?

In this Catskill Art Society production starring Cass Collins and John Higgins, the playwright weaves the text of “Romeo and Juliet” into a provocative new tale of love and sacrifice. Shakespeare’s timeless poetry provides the backdrop for this reimagined delicate and moving account of old age, memory and the demands we make of those we love.

The play is in one act and runs approximately 75 minutes with no intermission. Tickets cost $20 ($15 for advance sales). Half-price $10 tickets are offered to students who reserve in advance. Prepaid reservations are recommended. Call 845/252-7576.
