| TOSOS (The Other Side of Silence) is presenting a staged reading in its Chesley/Chambers Playwrights Project series this Wednesday, August 21, at 7 PM at The Flea Theatre, 20 Thomas Street in Manhattan. BURNING LEAVES is a new play by Tom Rowan (KISS AND CRY, THE SECOND TOSCA, FAYE DRUMMOND, DAVID’S PLAY); the reading is directed by Graydon Gund. The cast: Zoe Dunay, Vivia Font, Alex J. Gould, Aidan J. Lawrence, Mariela Rivero, and Jonathan Stewart, with Olivia Gesualdi reading stage directions. In need of a fresh start, Matt Leland, a young actor on the run from New York, takes a job teaching at a small high school in the Midwest—where he finds himself feeling unprepared for the unexpected challenges that await. His most talented student is Jesse Wade, a troubled sixteen-year-old on the verge of coming out. Isolated in the small conservative town, Jesse desperately needs a gay role model—and other things Matt may or may not be able to provide. Burning Leaves is a humorous, compassionate play that asks serious questions about education, friendship, and love. Admission is free but readings in this series tend to fill up; reservations are needed. Please reserve through the link! |
