Library looking for performers for "A Tree Grows" staged reading

by Timothy Rutt

 

Author Cliff Moore's play, "A Tree Grows," is looking for performers.

The Altadena Library is looking for six actors and a musician for a staged reading of a new play.

 

"A Tree Grows" by author Cliff Moore tells the tale of a small town and its heroic tree during the 60’s. Moore is an award-winning author and poet with numerous completed feature-length screenplays to his credit so he knows how to tell a good story.

The reading will take place Saturday, February 2, at 2 PM at the Community Room of the Altadena Main Library, 600 E. Mariposa St. There will be an audience discussion following the 30 minute performance,
