THREE CITIES by Katherine Vondy, Directed by Jessie Lee Mills

With: Bree Wernicke & James Tang

Synopsis:

Ada & Benedict are friends in their 20s, living in New York, who have only begun to realize they have romantic feelings for each other. Unfortunately, the timing couldn’t be worse. Ada is a dancer and has just accepted a place in a touring company; she’ll be leaving the city without the opportunity to give Benedict a chance. But Ada & Benedict are young, and life is long; they assume their paths will cross again. And in the meantime, who knows what wonderful things the world may have in store for them?

Revisiting Ada & Benedict twelve years later in San Francisco, and then twelve years after that in London, Three Cities is a play-with-dance revealing the ways in which the future can diverge from our youthful expectations.

About BLOSSOMING: a new play reading series

The Vagrancy annually selects four playwrights with diverse perspectives to join their playwrights’ group. Beginning each fall, the writers meet regularly as they craft their plays. The Vagrancy hosts two development workshops wherein the plays are explored with the playwright, actors, and a director in a rehearsal setting. This year’s theme is “Two-Hander”

BLOSSOMING is the first public reading of these four original plays. Be inspired, have a glass of wine, and help the plays’ development along with post-reading audience and artist talkbacks.

These readings are made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs & is supported, in part, by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Arts Commission.
