JUSTICE DISORDERED Gets Reading as Part of Kennedy Center's Page-to-Stage Festival

Justice Disordered, a co-production between The Rainbow Theatre Project and The Law Theater Project, will be presented as part of the Kennedy Center's annual Page-to-Stage Festival. Along with two other works by playwright Dr. Samantha McDermitt, Justice Disordered will be performed on Monday, September 5 at 6pm in the Israeli Lounge. Admission is free, but seating will be limited.

First produced in February 2016 and hailed as "very relevant" and "inspired" (DC Metro Theater Arts), Justice Disordered takes audiences behind closed doors and into the whirl of an imagined court battle that touches on some of today's biggest hot-button issues: gender discrimination and transgender rights.

"Justice Disordered came out of The Rainbow Theatre Project's Generation Q program during our third season. Generation Q is Rainbow Theatre Project's way to present the new voices of the LGBTQ community," shares Artistic Director H. Lee Gable. "We are very happy to see this timely play being reprised at Page-to-Stage."

Several cast members will be reprising their roles from February's production of Justice Disordered, including Desire DuBose, Joe Cronin, Stacy King, Arthur Roach, Michael Sainte-Andress, Mary Suib, John Tweel and Ellen Young. Alison Bauer, Katherine Bisulca, Lindsay Williams and Jeff Siperly will round out the cast for September's Page-to-Stage reading.

RTP mainstay Christopher Janson returns to direct the reprisal of Justice Disordered, which he helmed in February.
