HOW WE FALL Will Have Staged Reading at the Tank

How We Fall, written by Jac Ford and directed by Emma Shafer will have a staged reading at The Tank on Friday, March 21. This turbulent play will be featured as part of The Tank's Moonlight Series.

How We Fall centers around a group of college friends who are gathered for a weekend of beach time reconnecting. What starts off as well-intentioned fun quickly unravels when long-held secrets come to the surface; secrets that threaten to not only change how these friends see themselves but each other, forever. How We Fall explores how relationships change, or don't, over time and whether or not we should hold on.

Featuring Tanaka Maria, Ray Maxwell, Lydia Newman, Jack Gereski, and Christian O'Neill. Directed by Emma Shafer and stage managed by Caitland (Caky) Winsett. Presented by Jac Ford, in association with The Tank.

Thanks to a grant from the Virginia Club of New York, this reading will feature an almost entire company of University of Virginia (UVA) alumni. A key purpose of this staged production is to promote the work of recent UVA alumni and bring them together with theater professionals in New York - all through new play development! This reading will be presented with scripts in hand and minimal staging.
