A 2022 Eugene O'Neil semi-finalist piece, "Out of the Blue" is based on true events, following Sienna, a seventeen year-old visual art student who, at the start of her senior year, learns she is losing her eyesight to a genetic disease. With the help of her friends and her school-assigned tutor, she navigates her diagnosis, the loss of her mother, and her drive to change the world through a point of view, in a fight to break through the darkness and fulfill her dreams and future life as an artist.
The reading will be held at the 939 8th Avenue Ripley Grier Studios location. To attend, email broken4thmedia@gmail.com and request a seat or seats.
