1Tue-2E-5b: The LILAC Players—A Play Reading Group
Class | Registration opens 7/28/25 10:00 AM
The Lilac Players will spend five weeks rehearsing a radio play which will be performed for the LLAIC community. Experience is not necessary. You just need to be a bit of a “ham” and have a desire for fun. Please sign up as soon as possible so that we can select a play that has enough roles. Remember: “All the world’s a stage” and we are it! There will be a small charge for a printed copy of the play.
Please note that there is no fee for this course.
Maryann Wyner
Maryann Wyner: I have been involved in theater since high school as both an actor, stage manager, and properties manager. After one short time on stage at Clark University as a corpse, I waited until my teaching days to get involved. After receiving a BA from Clark, I went on, while teaching, to get a MA in English at Simmons College. At Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall in Waltham, I served as the assistant director and occasional actor for over 30 high school performances. As a teacher, acting was always part of the job, so getting involved in the LILAC Players allowed me to delve into something that has always made me smile. After retiring from teaching, opportunities arose at Temple Shir Tikva where I performed in Fiddler on the Roof, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, the Megillah According to Grease, and Little Shop of Horrors.

I am a retired public school superintendent with three master’s degrees and a doctorate and have spent over 40 years in education from teaching to principalship to directorship.
