Alley Stage Reading Series: Load-Bearing Walls

Join us for a staged reading of Pamela Morgan’s Load-Bearing Walls, where Sophie fights for her legal rights to inherit the home and accounts of her partner, Lena. Challenged by Lena’s mother, Lauren, the asexual nature of their partnership is called into question and put on trial. Load-Bearing Walls focuses on themes of romance, love, dignity in death, and the value that society places on sexual relationships.
The reading will be followed by a talk back and reception.
