"New troupe to take bow on Feb. 14"

From Michael Grossberg at the Columbus Dispatch:
"Actor-directors Tim Browning and Mark Mann have launched New Players Theatre Festival, focused on classics and modern works.
"The troupe will make its debut with a Valentine’s Day dinner-theater production of Love Letters, A.R. Gurney’s two-character comedy-drama. Browning and Emily Bach will perform the piece as a staged reading at 7 p.m. Feb. 14 during a dinner by chef Vincent Withers at CafĂ© Bella, 2593 N. High St. Tickets cost $40, including dinner. Call 614-267-1998.
"Browning, who founded and led an off-off-Broadway New York troupe for several years in the early 2000s, and Mann, who founded and led Arden Shakespeare Company for three years in Columbus in the late 1990s, will collaborate on the first full-fledged production, Underneath the Lintel, on April 28-30 in Columbus Dance Theatre, 592 E. Main St.  For more information, call 347-418-2377."
