Mark your calendars for Triangle Theatre's latest production, a staged reading of Tina Howe's Pulitzer Prize finalist play Painting Churches, concerning the relationship between an artist daughter and her aging parents.

Directed by Jennifer Fell Hayes, with Elowyn Castle, Marisa Merrigan and Dudley Stone, the reading will be presented 7 pm Friday, Feb. 12 and Saturday, Feb. 13 in Draesel Hall, Holy Trinity Church on 88th Street between 1st and 2nd avenues.
