Echo Reads: The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie

Each month Echo Theatre presents performance readings of provocative and entertaining scripts by some of the most interesting women playwrights of the past and present. A brief discussion with the director and cast follows each reading.

All performances begin at 7:30p.m. at the Bath House Cultural Center on White Rock Lake. Admission is free; donations are welcome.

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Jay Presson Allen (adapted from the novel by Muriel Spark): “I am in the business of putting old heads on young shoulders, and all my pupils are the creme de la creme. Give me a girl at an impressionable age and she is mine for life!“ So declares the iconoclastic Miss Jean Brodie. Muriel Spark's famous novel is the basis of this equally famous stage adaptation by Jay Presson Allen (an alumna of Dallas' "Miss Hockaday’s School for Young Ladies").
