Benton Way began as the depiction of a street in Silver Lake where two men attempted to connect but failed. During its six installments, it has illuminated racial unrest on streets throughout America, the universal challenges of the COVID pandemic, and the profound desire for an interracial gay couple to navigate the intricacies of their hearts against a backdrop of political and societal bedlam. In this sixth installment, Benton Way will present a parental reckoning, an LA reunion, and a speed bump no one saw coming. Love resumed and love thwarted on a single day.
Thursday, October 1st @ 3pm, free access with reservations: https://skylighttheatre.org/event/skylight-live/.
