Posted

Elmira, NY (02/22/2018)-- A new play titled, "Battles Lost and Won," by local playwright and Elmira College professor, John J. Kelly, will premiere Friday, February 23 and Saturday, February 24 at 8:00 p.m. at the Arnot Art Museum, Elmira.
The play, performed by Elmira College students, including Audrey Duarte of Riverside, RI (02915), is set in the American Southwest, after World War II veterans return from Europe. Their battles won, they now face another battle - this time with wildfires raging out of control.
Playwright John J. Kelly, professor of theatre and director of the theatre program at Elmira College, has more than 250 educational and professional productions to his credit, beginning work as a playwright only a bit over three years ago. In that time, his plays have been published, anthologized, and performed in high schools, colleges, and professional theatres throughout the nation, including New York City, Washington D.C., and Chicago.
General admission is $15. Members of the Arnot Art Museum, Chemung County Sunrise Rotary Club, and faculty, staff and students of Elmira College are $10. Space is limited and reservations are recommended. Contact Professor Kelly's office at (607) 735-1981.
Proceeds from ticket sales of both performances will be donated to the Glove House and the Arnot Art Museum.
