A reading of this contemporary comedy by Pearl Cleage. A bold exploration of ambition, aging, August Wilson, and the role of performance art in … art! Just when is the time to pass the theatrical torch? How do we prepare the next generation (and ourselves) for confronting generational rivalry? This is a smart and funny story of forging a life in theatre.
Featuring Adriene Legget Casamayor, Shannon Edwards, Fritzie Estimond, and Genevieve Strums
