They were written in the 1970s, late in Saroyan’s career, and are examples of Saroyan’s diaspora writing.[/perfectpullquote]
Aram Kouyoumdjian, who premiered a set of previously unpublished and unperformed plays by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author earlier this month at the Los Angeles Central Library, is directing the four-person cast.
Reservations can be made at 559-224-1001. The museum is at 550 E. Shaw Ave. in Fresno.
