Jared Gertner, Ray DeMattis, Matthew Labanca, Matt Leisy, Bobby Steggert, Carl Anthony Tramon, Cassie Wooley, and David Weitzer will star in the York Theatre Company’s developmental reading of Sweet William, to be presented June 2 at 7:30 pm.

The musical features music and lyrics by Bill Solly, with a book by Solly and Donald Ward. In it, the young Will Shakespeare goes on the road with the Stratford Players and meets a girl called William. Along the way he also has to cope with a vicious boy-player, several theatrical crises, unexpected romance, and a bear.

The reading is free and open to the general public, but reservations are suggested and can be obtained by calling 212-935-5824 x24.
