John & Salome : A New Play by Gillette Elvgren
About this Event
From the biblical account of John the Baptist's imprisonment, playwright Gillette Elvgren explores a unique and compelling dynamic between this desert prophet, John, and the dancing princess of the Herod clan, Salome.
What if Salome was not a mindless teenager eager to approve of her mother and step-father's illicit marriage?
What if John found his interactions with Salome to be both a challenge and a comfort?
Built around the beginning of Jesus’ ministry, this story dynamically portrays the spiritual and cultural power stuggles culminating in the demand for the head of John the Baptist.
A talkback with the Plawright, Director, Producer, Cast and Audience is scheduled to follow after the performance!
This one-night only staged reading of JOHN & SALOME is part of the arts initiative series The Oratory LAB offering original works on the fourth Friday of each month through October 2026.
The Oratory LAB is part of the Times Square Corps - Theatre 315 offering ongoing community theatre for audiences free of charge. Follow us here on Eventbrite for more upcoming events!
