For one night only, Sunday, July 30, The Conejo Players Reader Theater will present a
staged reading of Sage, a new play by Darrin Ingram.
Darrin Ingram, a long-time resident of Thousand Oaks, has been working in
professional theater since he was a child. As his experiences grew, so did his love for
the art of creation within theater. He has written and directed several award-winning
shows, including his most recent play Sage, which has been published by Next Stage
Press.
"My hope was to create a show that focused on finding authentic human connections
amid adversity, regardless of inherent differences,” commented Ingram. “As the father
of an autistic child, it was important to show that it is our differences that should be
cherished and it is our uniqueness that elevates our relationships with one another."
A slice of life piece set in a park, where the central characters, a retired widower and an
autistic park keeper, navigate the personalities and challenges of the park regulars.
When tragedy strikes one of their own, how will they overcome their differences to bring
hope to those who need it most?
Conejo Players Readers Theater offers a unique theatrical experience – a staged
reading in which actors present a play or musical in front of an audience without sets,
costumes or other production elements. The actors are not off-book, which means they
typically have the script in hand while they perform. It allows the audience to focus on
the story and the characters. A staged reading is a great opportunity for audiences to
experience new plays and works that would not otherwise be mounted as full
productions. It’s also an excellent opportunity for actors to showcase their performance
skills.
Sage will be stagedon July 30, 2023, at 6:00pm. This is a free event; however, tickets
need to be reserved prior to the show. Visit our website for more information.
Please note: This play explores profound and thought-provoking themes relevant to
mature audiences. It also contains language that may be considered offensive to some
individuals. Viewer discretion is advised to ensure a comfortable and appropriate
viewing experience.

Conejo Players Theatre is located at 351 S. Moorpark Road in Thousand Oaks.
