SAGE in
Northridge, CA is doing a dramatic reading of Tempest at Dawn. The SAGE Society
is a learning-in-retirement organization sponsored by California State
University, Northridge. The group has adapted the novel to a play-like script
and members assume the roles of various framers of the Constitution. The
readings will extend over many weeks, but yesterday I had the privilege of
attending the first reading of chapters 1-4. The society members did a
wonderful job and it was a kick to hear other people read my words aloud. This
was a fun group and the performance and banter showed that the members were
learned, full of life, and welcoming to new members and experiences. After
Tempest at Dawn, they will do a reenactment of the Virginia Ratification
Convention, which they will script from other sources. I felt honored that SAGE
has dedicated their time and meetings to Tempest at Dawn.
