Play reading focuses on pandemic life

BUCKLAND — A play reading about life during the COVID-19 pandemic, written and directed by Carmela Lanza-Weil, will be held at Buckland Town Hall on Friday, May 5, at 7 p.m.

“These first-person stories — sometimes poignant or sad, sometimes humorous or joyful — are supplemented by narratives from members of the Medical Reserve Corps and others who worked in hospitals, clinics and vaccination sites,” Lanza-Weil wrote in an event announcement. “Together, the stories offer rich insights — and some surprises — into how those of us in rural Massachusetts navigated the unknown territory of a global public health crisis.”

The play will be followed by an opportunity for the audience to provide feedback.

Other readings of the play will be held Thursday, May 11, at 6:30 p.m. at Greenfield Community College’s Cohn Dining Commons and Wednesday, May 24, at 11 a.m. at the South County Senior Center.
