A reading performance of the play “The Lutwidge Canvass” will be held at 7 p.m. Friday, April 15, at the BCAC gallery. “The Lutwidge Canvass” is a 13-character zany mystery filled with puns, innuendo, mistaken identity and murder

A reading performance of the musical “Button for Nuttin,'” will be held at 7 p.m. Friday, June 17, at the BCAC Gallery. Nuttin, the unluckiest town ever, enters into a cook-off competition with the town of Plenty in this musical written by Marc Ross, with music by Larry Boisen.

The readings are part of “Third Fridays … in the Gallery,” a monthly program sponsored by the Barrington Cultural Arts Center and TesserAct Theatre Ensemble.
