Reading in Nichols: FASHIONISTAS by Janet Allard

An informal reading of Fashionistas will take place in Nichols Theatre on Wednesday, May 2nd at 7:30pm.  The running time is less than an hour.  The reading is free and open to the public.

This play is being produced and directed Off-Broadway by Jennifer Vellenga this summer. www.FashionistasNYC.com.

The House of Narcissus is gearing up for the fashion show of the season, but life on the runway can be treacherous. An activist plots to destroy the show, the supermodels can’t find their shoes, Echo is in love with Narcissus, and Narcissus is consumed by the one thing he can never obtain: himself. In this world of unrequited love, insatiable desire, and fabulous clothes, what is the cost of falling in love with illusion? A high-fashion adaptation of the classic story of Echo and Narcissus.
