“Under Milk Wood”
Friday, Dec. 8 at 12:30 p.m. (Bemis Hall)
This staged reading of Dylan Thomas’s 1943 radio play, “Under Milk Wood,” is a celebration of life in a small Welsh fishing village, at once moving, hilariously funny, sometimes bawdy and always wildly poetic. Cast members include Lincoln residents Mary Crowe, Ben Dubrovsky, and Sally Kindleberger. Wordsmove Theater graciously donated their time to the community and this show is free to all.
