ASTERION by Liz Duffy Adams Gets Reading in Mesa on Labor Day
A World Premiere reading of Asterion by Liz Duffy Adams will be produced by The Bridge Initiative and Southwest Shakespeare Company this September.
Director: William Partlan. Stage Manager: Rebekah Weagraff.
Starring: Brian Foley (pictured, left), Melody Knudson and Cisco Saavedra, with Natalie Andrews, Osama Awadalla, Sam Brandano, Evan Carson, Jaime Fox, Jamie Hendricks, Diana Hernandez, Lauren McKay, Adam Mendez, Anthony Moschetti, Hayla Stewart and Abel Zerai.
Asterion, the half-bull Minotaur of Greek legend, is trapped in the labyrinth his sister Ariadne designed, alone except for the ghosts of the young sacrifices he has devoured. Now Ariadne and her borrowed hero, Theseus, are coming to kill him - unless he kills them instead.
Playwright Liz Duffy Adams will be in residence, working on the play for the weekend. This will be the first time the play has ever been read in public.
The reading is set for Monday, September 5th, 2016, at 7:00 p.m. at Southwest Shakespeare Co.'s rehearsal studio, 55 E. Main Street, Mesa, AZ 85201.
The Bridge Initiative is an Arizona nonprofit working to identify and empower female artists in the Southwest region, with the aim of gender parity across all theatrical disciplines.
