Santa Monica Rep presents
Summer Staged Readings of plays celebrating LOVE in a world gone MAD!
Performances at 4pm at the Edye Second Space at The Broad Stage*
Sunday, July 16th & Saturday, July 29th – Rapture, Blister, Burn
by Gina Gionfriddo, Directed by Jen Bloom
After grad school, Catherine and Gwen chose polar opposite paths. Catherine built a career as a rockstar academic, while Gwen built a home with her husband and children. Decades later, unfulfilled in polar opposite ways, each woman covets the other’s life, commencing a dangerous game of musical chairs-the prize being Gwen’s husband. With searing insight and trademark wit, this comedy is an unflinching look at gender politics in the wake of 20th-century feminist ideals.
Sunday, August 13th & Saturday, August 26th – The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window
by Lorraine Hansberry, Directed by Tanya White
This is the probing, hilarious and provocative story of Sidney, a disenchanted Greenwich Village intellectual, his wife Iris, an aspiring actress, and their colorful circle of friends and relations. Set against the shenanigans of a stormy political campaign, the play follows its characters in their unorthodox quests for meaningful lives in an age of corruption and cynicism. With compassion, humor and poignancy, the author examines questions concerning the fragility of love, morality and ethics, interracial relationships, drugs, rebellion, conformity and especially withdrawal from the world.
*Saturday August 26th reading is at 2pm, at the Santa Monica Public Library
And on Sunday, September 24th – Madwoman of Chaillot by Jean Giraudoux, Directed by Eric Bloom
