News Tony Winner James Monroe Iglehart Is Part of Tonight's Project Shaw Reading Gingold Theatrical Group's Project Shaw, which is under the leadership of artistic director David Staller, continues Dec. 21 at 7 PM with a reading of Shaw's The Shewing-Up of Blanco Posnet at Symphony Space’s Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theatre.

Written in 1909, The Shewing-Up of Blanco Posnet, according to press notes, is Shaw's "rollicking tale of the Old American Wild West. This rarely seen mystery/comedy of an outsider accused of being a horse thief and is on the verge of being strung up when a mysterious woman appears."
