Aurora Theatre New Play Readings, Includes Craig Lucas

Berkeley's acclaimed Aurora Theatre Company announces the four play submissions chosen as finalists for the Global Age Project (GAP), the company's new works initiative that promotes the creation of forward-looking theatre.

They include: American Whupass by Justin Warner; Over The Mountain by Brian Thorstenson; Happyslap by Laura Jacqmin; and Learn To Be Latina by Enrique Urueta.

Renowned playwright Craig Lucas (The Light in the Piazza, Prelude to a Kiss) will present a commissioned new work, Subterranea, as the keystone play of the readings.

Plays will be presented as staged readings in a 5-week festival at the Aurora Theatre, April 16 through May 14 at 7:30PM. Each reading will be followed by a discussion about the issues raised in each work.
