Heidi Blickenstaff, Marc Kudisch & Jon Patrick Walker to Lead Reading of New Play TRIUMPH

Triumph, a new play inspired by true events, written by Benjamin David Hoffman and directed by Andy Sandberg (Application Pending; The Last Smoker in America), will receive an invitation-only reading in New York on May 28, 2015.

The cast features Heidi Blickenstaff (Something Rotten!; [title of show]), three-time Tony Award nominee Marc Kudisch (Hand to God; 9 to 5), and Jon Patrick Walker (Winter's Tale; High Fidelity).

"In 1999, Oregon repealed the religious defense from its penal codes. It took eight years for a case to come before the courts to vet it. Triumph is a fictional stage-play inspired by true events.

Carl & Farris Greyson suffer the loss of their fifteen-month-old daughter to pneumonia, a curable condition, because instead of seeking medical treatment, they pray for her. In their community, a small sect of a few thousand people, the death rate of children under the age of two is twenty-six times higher than the rest of the country.

The night of the Greysons' arrest, Detective Harvey Carmichael takes down their confessions. As he questions their guilt, responsibility, and home life, the lines between good & bad, cop & convict, saved & damned begin to blur."
