Theater Resources Unlimited (TRU) has announced a political leader and a theater industry professional who will join the “Dollars and Sense” talkback following the TRU Voices reading of Ali MacLean’s FINAL RESTING PLACE. The second play reading in this now-hybrid series will be presented via live stream on August 17 at 4pm EDT. Tickets may be purchased, and the virtual link accessed, at https://truonline.org/events/final-resting-place/
The cast includes film, television and theater veterans Allison Blaize, Seamus Dever, Judith Feingold, Cheryl Games, Alina Gloria Garcia, TT Jones, Anamari Mesa, Nikki Neurohr, Eileen Sugameli, Alison Wien and Jasmine Reneé Williamson. It is directed by Kathryn Keats and produced by John Lant in association with Write Act Repertory and Tin Mirror Studios. This theatrical event gives a voice to women whose deaths are sensationalized, but whose stories often go untold. The play is a composite of monologues from a diverse group of women who have crossed paths with the same serial killer: victims, survivors and sensation seekers.
Joining the “Dollars and Sense” talkback following the reading are special guest Kimberly Harris, Democratic special advisor to the White House and Congress leading 1-1 crisis management for victims of domestic and physical violence; and producer Ina Chadwick, founder/executive director of achronicles.org in residence with the Museum of Contemporary Art in Connecticut, producer of The Wish, six women playwrights on abortion, a Connecticut premiere in conjunction with The Heidi Shreck Foundation and Clubbed Thumb Productions.
