OdysseyStage Theatre presents “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”


OdysseyStage’s Senior Readers Theatre and The ArtsCenter present a special matinee performance of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.” on Sunday, November 7 at 3:00 pm at The ArtsCenter, 300-G East Main St. in Carrboro. The admission price is one can of food, which will help stock the food pantry of The Inter-Faith Council for Social Service.

This haunting tale of a man who is born old and grows younger is widely known through the recent film starring Brad Pitt, but the original story from 1922 has its own unique poignancy and humor received accolades in September as part of Readers Theatre at Lunch series, a program for seniors to participate in drama as actors and audience members. The 45-minute presentation was adapted by John Paul Middlesworth, for Senior Readers Theatre

The program is also made possible by a grant from the BJH Foundation for Senior Services.
