New Play THE WEDDING CAKE Coming to North Coast Rep This December
The Wedding Cake "is about the tension between religious liberty and discrimination and the sacrifices made by those who stand for or against either." Says Sarokin. In this play, two couples, quarrel over an incident, which, at first, seems to be trivial. Tension soon develops into a bitter dispute with each couple; both suffering consequences they never envisioned, over something they thought so small.
Longtime Artistic Director at North Coast Rep, David Ellenstein, speaks highly of Sarokin's works: "His plays are usually short, gripping and about hot-button issues without any sugar-coating," Ellenstein said. "They're open to audience interpretation instead of preaching a point, and they're very immediate and accessible." This play is sure to engender strong feelings and raise great discussion at the talkback after the reading.
Judge H. Lee Sarokin is a graduate of Dartmouth College and Harvard Law School. After a 25-year career as a trial lawyer, he was appointed to the U.S. District Court by President Carter and elevated to the U.S. Court of Appeals by President Clinton. Throughout his judicial career he has championed civil rights. He is a regular contributor to the Huffington Post, tutors at Casa de Amistad, served 5 years as Distinguished Jurist in Residence at USD Law School and plays drums with jazz groups. He now resides with his wife Margie in La Jolla.
This is a free reading, on stage for one-night only. After the reading there will be a Talkback with the playwright: The Honorable H. Lee Sarokin, Director: Jay Mower and cast.
