The Southern Tier Actors Read and The Phelps Mansion Museum proudly present a staged reading of ‘Intellectuals’ by Scott Sickles on November 10^th thru November 13^th. Here’s a brief synopsis:

Psychologist Margot Welles is taking a “sabbatical” from her marriage to explore her “untapped feminine potential” by giving lesbianism a whirl. Hoping to make Margot jealous, her husband Phillip, a philosophy professor, starts dating the lovely Antonia… a much older woman. Margot and Philip both employ their best friend Brighton, a romantically disadvantaged film professor, to keep one another posted… but Brighton’s “gay best friend” duties are waylaid when his former student Nick begins to court him out of the blue. Mayhem ensues.

“Romantic screwball comedy is alive and well… Intellectuals is a refreshing reminder of how fun good theatre can be… several surprising twists and turns…
~ Michael Criscuolo, nytheatre.com

“Some people are just too smart for their own good. That’s bad for them, but it’s great for the audience of Intellectuals. … Sickles’s dialog is witty and crisp, and the jokes zipped by, one on top of the next. … a lot of fun indeed.”
~ Byrne Harrison, oobr.com
