Our Hearts Were Young and Gay
with JoAnn Gryder
Co-facilitator: Ceil Carey
Join us as we read aloud the classic play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, adapted by Jean Kerr in 1964 from Cornelia Otis Skinner & Emily Kimbrough's book (1942). Get in character as we read the play about the escapades of the young ladies determined to prove how "cosmopolitan" they can be on an uproarious trip to Europe. It will provide insight into a very different time. Scripts shall be provided. As a tribute to Tryna Zeedyk who led several play readings for LLI, we ask that participants wear a hat to the sessions as she did for all LLI events.
