The Main Off-Broadway Play Reading Series at the Louisville KY Free Public Library presented a dramatic reading of The Verge by talented local actors on May 25, 2025. Our own J. Ellen Gainor produced an introductory video that provided valuable context to the play for the audience.

Once again this event proved what we in the ISGS know so well about Glaspell’s work — it is as relevant to audiences and readers today as the day it was written, as Program Coordinator Tony Dingman confirmed: “The response to the reading was very positive, with many coming up afterward to say how much they were moved by it.  Some commented that it didn’t seem like a play from the 1920s, but rather a more modern piece.  It was a successful reading, better for the context that you were able to provide.”
