Pick a pair of plays:
Two short plays by members of the 4th Wall Stage Company team will be read aloud at a free event on June 4 at the WICN Radio Studio specifically for audience feedback.

When: 6 p.m. June 4

Where: WICN Radio Station Storefront, 50 Portland St., Worcester

"Every vision is a joke until the first man accomplishes it; once realized, it becomes commonplace". - Dr. Robert H. Goddard.

The Rocket Man is anything but commonplace, but we do show why he believed people thought his vision was a joke. Come see The Rocket Man at the Museum of Worcester at 2pm on April 11th or 12th. Both shows will be captioned by EYE AUDIO RADIO.

Tickets are available at www.4thwallstagecompany.org.

Great Googly Moogly! You asked and we answered. To coincide with the successful launch of the Artemis II, we've just added 2 more matinee performances for you to catch The Rocket Man. April 11 and 12, both at 2:00pm.

Photo credit for the launch picture is the New York Times, who printed an article saying Goddard didn't understand high school physics when he believed a rocket could function in the vacuum of space. 49 years later, they printed a retraction saying, "The Times regrets the error." Photo credit for the graphic is courtesy of NASA.
