Miners Alley Playhouse fundraiser at Barnes and Noble

Actors from Miners Alley Playhouse will be at Barnes and Noble at the Denver West shopping center Thursday, March 24, to present excerpts from “Fiction,” a play by Steven Dietz that the playhouse is performing through April 24. The performance will begin at 7 p.m., and is part of a fundraiser sponsored by Barnes and Noble.

The bookstore will give 10-20 percent of all book sales between March 24 and 29 from any location in the country to Miners Alley when shoppers give the store clerk the bookfair ID number 10431039.

Miners Alley will receive the biggest percentage for sales on March 24, but shoppers will need to present a coupon, which can be printed from the Miners Alley Playhouse website at www.minersalley.com.
