The Butcher, The Thief, and the Buyer of Beef

Thursday's reading of Mark Mannette's two-act play drew record crowds into Orange. In an e-mail sent to campus, Ron Bayes offered:

CONGRATULATIONS to the Writers’ Forum cadres and (with thanks) to Mark Mannette and all the theatre dudes for making last night’s Forum the best attended since Robert Creeley last visited campus. I didn’t realize that Orange Main Lounge could hold over l00 people; now I do.

You can hear the reading on the web or better yet, why not subscribe to the podcast?

Thanks so much to the Highland Players:
