A Reading of Stephen Karam's "Speech & Debate"

Sun Valley Playwright’s Residency is partnering with Boise Contemporary Theater and Boise State University to bring you a very special reading of one of our 25/26 Resident Playwright’s plays that put him on the map as a major voice in the American theatre.

The evening begins with a conversation between Tony , Obie & Drama Desk Award Winner Stephen Karam and Artistic Director John Baker, followed by a reading of Speech and Debate, which tells the story of three teenagers in Salem, Oregon. When one of them discovers the truth about a sex scandal in their town… secrets become currency, blogs are belted, and the trio’s connection grows deeper in this dark comedy with music.

Directed by Boise Contemporary Theater Artistic Director Benjamin Burdick and featuring Boise State University Department of Theatre, Film & Creative Writing students, alumni & faculy.

Tickets: FREE! And open to the public. Reservations highly recommended.
