Alivia Quattrocki and Aaron Pierce Will Lead BEND TOWARD THE LIGHT Reading

Following a successful table reading at NYU Tisch in 2024, writers Sarah Slipp and Bryce Palmer will present the latest iteration of Bend Toward the Light in a reading at the Dramatists Guild Foundation Music Hall on Thursday, February 22 at 5pm. This reading comes just before the musical's next major step: the Syracuse New Works, New Voices Festival in April.

A sweeping, lyrical, and haunting new sung-through psychodrama, the show follows twin siblings Asher and Willow Fitzgerald as they retell the story of what went wrong on their days-long journey to recover an old time capsule they'd buried with their late father. Bend Toward the Light is a meditation on the ways in which we're all searching for something- be it each other, ourselves, a way forward, or a way back.

The reading will star Alivia Quattrocki (Willow) and Aaron Pierce (Asher). The two have been involved with the show since its early stages.
