Actress Karen Allen, known for her roles in Raiders of the Lost Ark and Starman, will head the cast of Until Death, the third in a series of staged readings being presented through the partnership between the Pocono Mountains’ Theater Company and East Stroudsburg University’s Department of Theatre.

The drama by Sarah T. Schwab will be presented Saturday, April 30 at 7 p.m. in Smith-McFarland Theatre of ESU’s Fine and Performing Arts Center, Normal and Marguerite streets, East Stroudsburg.

In the play, an elderly woman is faced with a life/death decision after her husband, a man with terminal heart disease, informs her that he will spend his final days alone in order to spare her emotional distress.

The reading, which is recommended for adults and mature high school students, is open to the public at no cost. There is a suggested donation of $5 per reading.

Reservations for the reading are recommended, but not required. To make a reservation, email SarahT.Schwab@gmail.com, and include your name, the title of show, and the number of seats requested.
