New Works Project - Day 2

The second day (of three) for Marshall University's New Works Project continues Friday with The Contemporary Theatre Project.

It's a reading of the play Well by Lisa Kron.

This important new play takes a very unique and contemporary approach to story-telling. Well paints a mother-and-daughter picture with rich and unusual artistry. The play’s central character (and playwright) Lisa, is depicted as an anxious performance artist who shares the journey of her mother’s pursuit (as well as her own) to “wellness” amidst the challenging current American health care crisis.

There's no admission charge (though donations are accepted), and after the performance thee will be a discussion with the audience about health care and it's impact.

The reading will be staged Friday, June 17 at 7 p.m. at the Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center.

Highly recommended!
