PLAY READING
Our next Play Reading is this Thursday, Feb. 23rd
THE LIGHTNING STORM by Kathleen Cromie
Electricity charges the air as the head of a revolutionary
government-elect works to create his country’s first constitution before
the previous leadership can declare the vote invalid. Over the course of
one night enemies, teachers, friends, and ghosts threaten to distract the
new Prime Minister, or dispose him. “The Lightning Storm” tackles issues
of civil rights, homosexuality in nature, the line between justice and
vengeance, and whether true faith can exist in a theocratic state.
Readings are always FREE and are generally held on the 3rd Tuesday of the month (except this month) at 7:00pm, at the Burbank Senior Artists’ Colony, 240 E. Verdugo Ave., in Burbank.
