WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In Reading Under the Influence, the wine hits the fan as the women of the Westchester Book Club gather to discuss their current required reading, The Homeless Dogs of Egypt. During their chardonnay-fueled discussion, they find out that the rights to their book club have been sold to a reality TV production company. It's the "The Real Housewives" meets "Oprah." Don't judge a book club by its cover... you never know how the pages will turn!

Go See!
If you want a fun night out go see this play. There were parts where I laughed so hard my sides hurt. It was unbelievably charming, well written, well acted and well directed. I had a great time all around. Itd be a great show to see with your girlfriends!

Funny, funny stuff.

The drinks flow as smoothly as the smart dialogue in Tony Glazer's Reading Under the Influence: The "Real" Westchester Women's Book Club, now playing at Union Square's DR2 Theatre.
Here, we meet the four women of the Westchester Book Club as they prepare to discuss their latest assignment, The Homeless Dogs of Egypt. Throughout the zany discourse, these women of very contrasting sensibilities and varying ages -- Kerry (Ashley Austin Morris), Megan (Barbara Walsh), Jocelyn (Joanne Bayless), and Sara (Summer Crocket Moore) -- come to terms with the fact that the rights to their book club have been sold to a reality TV production company.
Glazer immediately characterizes his women through th[...]
