Beloved friends,

Ran Space (Ran Tea House) is very delighted to host a special reading series of short contemporary plays in the next three months.

Inspired by the pleasant atmosphere of Ran Tea House and tasseography as well, Xoregos Performing Company initiates this series and entitles it “Tea Readings”. On the last Saturdays in May, June and July, 2012,  both Asian and American short plays will be read by actors from Xoregos Performing Company. There will be a combination of dramas and comedies on each Saturday.

By then, enjoy our homemade dumplings and mocha cookies, while appreciating the wonderful performances.

Warmest,
Xoregos Performing Company & Ran Space

“Invisible things, rooted in cold
and growing toward this light
that vanishes into each thing
it illumines. Nothing ends.”
