Janine DiVita and Kahlil Garcia Join Play Reading Fridays' RED LIGHT WINTER

Janine DiVita (The Mystery of Edwin Drood; Anything Goes; Grease) will now play Christina opposite the previously announced Joe Carroll (Bandstand; Romeo and Juliet). They will also be joined by newly announced Kahlil Garcia ("The Newsroom") as Davis.

The virtual reading will be directed by Alison Tanney. Stage directions will be read by Erin Leddy. The technical director is Michael Redman.

Producers of 'Play Reading Fridays', Tanney and Tim Realbuto, created the bi-monthly reading series while NYC theatre is dark. Their past productions include "The Shape of Things" starring Realbuto and Tony Award winner Lena Hall, "The Glass Menagerie" starring Tony Award nominee Emily Skinner and Erika Henningsen, and "Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead" starring Jack DiFalco and Emma Hunton.

"Red Light Winter" is the story of two best friends, Matt (Carroll) and Davis (Garcia), who travel to Amsterdam's Red Light District and how their relationship is tested when they meet a young prostitute named Christina (DiVita).

The story of obsession, sex and betrayal first premiered at The Steppenwolf Theatre Company in 2005 before moving Off-Broadway to The Barrow Street Theatre.

'Play Reading Fridays' will present the show this coming Friday, July 24th at 7:00pm. The reading will be followed by a Q&A with the cast, director and playwright Adam Rapp.
