29th Street Playwrights Collective New Works Series Hosts a Reading of TRIP-TRAP
The performance is on September 21 at Polaris North, 245 W29th Street, 4th Floor, at 7pm.
29th Street Playwrights Collective New Works Series presents a staged reading of TRIP-TRAP written by Robin Rice and directed by Kenny Wade Marshall, on September 21 at Polaris North, 245 W29th Street, 4th Floor, at 7pm.
TRIP-TRAP asks: What if you're living someone else's idea of a perfect life instead of your own? Do you want to escape? Is escape even possible? What if you're a headstrong daughter or over-protective mother? Or a goat or conflicted troll? And what about Julia Child and Hans Christian Andersen? Are you playing a role or writing your own story?
The reading is directed by Kenny Wade Marshall and features C.K. Allen (Rich Orloff’s COUPLES “notable performance” -NY Times), Joe Burby (“The 800”, audio voiceover), John Fico (MADE FOR EACH OTHER), James Foster Jr. (WEDDING OF THE PAINTED DOLL), Nicole Greevy (voice of Sheriff Jane Rowland in Seasons 1 and 2 of the award-winning fiction podcast UNCANNY COUNTY), Kirsten Hopkins (FLORENCE THE FIREFLY and HONEYBEES with the Playground Experiment), Lizzie Kehoe (GOODBYE PETRUSHKA), Natalie Mosco (HAIR, Original Broadway cast), and Jody Prusan (LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS at MUNY).
