Henry: America's Troubadour Winner of the Marilyn Hall Award presented by the Beverly Hills Theatre Guild, this play dramatizes the life and adventures of William Sydney Porter from his birth in Greensboro, NC to a career in New York captivating a nation with his comic eye and unique, ironic depiction of life's realities. Under the pseudonym O. Henry he published more than 300 stories that favored the daring and the dreamers and of course . . . the surprise twist ending. Our staged readings were conceived with the needs of older actors and audiences in mind, although the O. Henry stories also make an excellent school presentation. Readers Theatre Under Your Roof aspires to present consistently engaging and carefully prepared classic and contemporary works. Charles M. Stern founded Readers Theatre to be a social occasion as well as a theatrical experience. The acting company is made up of over two dozen performers, some of whom are former professional actors who want to express their talent by reading rather than memorizing lines. Readers Theatre is supported by a grant from The BJH Foundation for Senior Services
