Well, technically the one-night-only reading and benefit happening tonight at the Julia Miles Theater is by donation ($15 suggested), but if you show up to the 6pm reception (reading begins at 8pm) and talk a big game, probably nobody will mind your freeloading ways.
The reading of Jenny Lyn Bader’s play Out of Mind will be directed by Julie Kramer, and consists of some six short plays (with a few characters missing) offering slightly askew slice-of-life moments — dates, babysitting gigs, breakups, whathaveyous. Proceeds go to The Young Mirror company, whose resident playwright wrote the piece and a dozen of whose actors will be performing in the reading. RSVP (212-427-7393) required for the reception, recommended for the reading.
