Members of the Mark Twain Forum planning to attend the ALA in San Francisco this week might want to start Twaining early by coming to Stanford on Wednesday evening at 7:30 to attend a staged reading of "Hadleyburg," a new play by Stanford playwright and lecturer Kevin DiPirro based on "The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg." The play, which will be performed by professional actors, is free and open to the public.
