The Theatre Company at CAP21 presents The Dorothy Strelsin New Works Reading Series -Salvation, a New Comedy by James McLindon.  Salvation will be presented Monday, November 9th, 7:30PM.

In Salvation, at the end of a crime-filled life, Jack lies dying in a baraclounger, attended only by his brow-beaten son, Bartholomew. Taking his second grade nun's teaching to heart, Jack believes that he can still go to heaven provided he makes a perfect deathbed confession. Enter Fr. Gallagher -- a soul-weary priest about to encounter the most bizarre confession of his career.

Salvation is directed by Eliza Ventura with a cast featuring Lawrence Arancio, J. Austin Eyer, Dan Cordle, and Terry Layman.

CAP21's professional theatre company began in 1994 with the Blackjacks Festival which showcased artists and new work to the theatre community. This Festival solidified CAP21 as a producer and launched its new works development wing which now includes readings, workshops, and professional performances. After nine Festivals, it was decided to allocate resources and talent to fully produce pieces that were initiated at CAP21 for the public as the next logical step in the developmental process. The Monday Night Reading Series was launched to take an initial look at new work and present classic plays and musicals. The classics provide an opportunity for actors to learn some of the great pieces from the canon and audiences to hear the language and the music.

Since 1994, over 190 new musicals and plays by more than 230 writers have been presented to the public and the industry through readings and productions. CAP21 provides a forum for shows to go on to subsequent productions and twenty percent have transferred to venues in New York and nationwide such as The Public Theatre, Theatre for the New City, The Goodspeed Opera House, Trenton's Passage Theatre and LA's Tiffany Theatre.
