CHICKS IN HEAVEN To Have Readings At Open Jar Studios This May

CAROL Lee Campbell's musical play about family and faith will have an industry presentation, May 12 at 1:00 pm & 5:00 pm at Open Jar Studios, 1601 Broadway, 11th Floor New York City.

In Chicks In Heaven, Fran summons old friends she once practiced magic with in order to rescue her daughter from a cult. Chicks In Heaven enjoyed a wildly popular production at the Creative Cauldron in Virginia last year.

When four friends come together in a rural southwest Virginia town for a reunion, it's a mostly happy gathering filled with remembrance and ritual. But when some religious crusaders stage a book-burning, and a local boy sets fire to a friend's van, their friendship is tested. Can the same magical activism that forged their early feminist bonds bring them together now to fight patriarchy and racism, at a time when the fight is needed most? A "Bold New Voices" premiere that celebrates the resilient power of the feminine spirit.
