Wordsmyth Theater to Host Reading of WHAT WE KNOW AND WHAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT

On Monday, May 16, 2016 at 7:00 p.m., Wordsmyth Theater Company will produce a reading of What We Know and What We Don't Know About It, by John Levine. The reading is free and will be held at Main Street Theater, 2540 Times Blvd.

Jobs, lovers, writing, the endless hassles of daily life for an adjunct professor at a community college. Throw in a student writing what seems like a plan for mass murder....what's a woman to do?

"I wrote this play because I was intrigued by the gray area between writing that is "creative" and writing that is "disturbing"--it all depends on circumstances and context. On college campuses--already a charged atmosphere because of numerous shootings nationwide--deciding what's merely creative expression and what's truly threatening could be a matter of life and death." -- Playwright John Levine

"I really enjoy the way John Levine has layered stories within stories, and how he has crafted characters that are easily relatable. We've all known someone who has gone through some variation of one or more of these stories, or lived them ourselves." - Director Rod Todd

Wordsmyth Theater is always on the look-out for bold, new works that deserve a voice; this is one of the criteria of their rigorous selection process.
