The Tank To Host Reading Of WE LEFT OUR LOVE IN DALLAS, A New Farcical Western Romance Play

Emerging playwright Jacob Grover will have a reading of his new play "We Left Our Love In Dallas" in The Tank's 98-seat theater on January 16th, 2019 at 8:00pm. The reading will be directed by Stephanie Wurster and feature Grover, Ayo Edebiri, Alex Might, and Alex Mutti.

WE LEFT OUR LOVE IN DALLAS is a Western-Romance play set in New York City. Barnaby, a proud Texan and last child of the Lone Star State, is the muse of world renowned pastel artist Gerard. Barnaby enjoys their exclusive status as the gallery's sole artistic subject until one day they discover the visage of an imposter adorning its hallowed walls. Enter Lusitania, a dashing French expatriate with a love for New York and what seems to be an even deeper love for Gerard. Assisted by the otherworldly guidance of Big Tex (a 55-foot tall statue overlooking the State Fair of Texas), Barnaby quests to win back Gerards love and fend off this mysterious newcomer, one whose intentions may be more nefarious than they appear.
