DESCRIPTION:A staged reading of the new technological thriller Al: Artificially Insidious will take place on Monday\, April 7\, 2026 at 6:30 pm at Kent Memorial Library\, 50 North Main Street\, Suffield\, CT 06078. \nPresented by The Suffield Players as part of their Page to Stage Reading Series\, the event offers audiences the opportunity to experience a new theatrical work in development. Written and directed by playwright Mark Proulx of Agawam\, Massachusetts\, the two-act play explores the unsettling possibilities of artificial intelligence and the ways rapidly evolving technology can blur the line between innovation and danger.

Following the reading\, attendees may have the opportunity to share feedback with the creative team. \nAdmission is free and open to the public. The program is recommended for ages 13 and up due to thematic content. \nFor more information about The Suffield Players and upcoming events\, visit www.suffieldplayers.org.
