Sunday, April 26th, 8pm:
Ian Thal presents a staged reading of his five-act play, TOTAL WAR, at Cambridge's Outpost 186.
TOTAL WAR was a semi-finalist in the 2009 Dorothy Silver Playwriting Competition, and is set at a Catholic university where the student newspaper has published a Holocaust denial advertisement. While faculty and staff attempt to show solidarity with the small Jewish community on campus, an anarchist-cell using the nom de guerre of “Total War” begins a campaign of guerrilla art attacks before a predictable dialogue on free speech and religious pluralism can begin.
The reading will feature the talents of: Dale Appel, Anika M. Colvin-Hannibal, John M. Costa, Anthony DiBartolomeo, Mikey DiLoreto, Lou Fuoco, Kate Heffernan, Andrew Hicks, Lesley Moreau, Krystle Spoon, and Tom Sprague.
The reading is an opportunity for an audience to listen to a stripped-down version of a work-in-progress followed by a talk-back.
