Actor's Theatre of Charlotte to Present Reading of 8, 4/22

By:

The Actor's Theatre of Charlotte will present a two night staged reading of Dustin Lance Black's new play 8 on April 22nd and 23rd.

“8″—a new play by Academy-award winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black (Milk, J. Edgar)—demystifies the debate around marriage equality by chronicling the landmark trial of Perry v. Schwarzenegger. Learn about the historical context of marriage from expert testimony. See the human cost of discrimination. Uncover the arguments used to justify bans on marriage for gay and lesbian couples. Using the actual court transcripts from the landmark federal trial of California’s Prop. 8 and first-hand interviews, “8″ shows both sides of the debate in a moving 90-minute play.

The performances will take place Sunday, April 22, 2012 at 8:00pm and Monday, April 23, 2012 at 8:00pm. All tickets will cost $8, general admission.

Auditions and casting will be announced at a later date. To buy tickets, click here.
