A talk back with the playwright will occur after the reading facilitated by DG Phoenix Ambassador Sally Jane Kerschen-Sheppard.
About the play...
A Mexican woman in the U.S. as a Spanish teacher gets murdered in a suburban patch of Kentucky. Was it a hate crime, or something else? Characters re-enact the events leading to the murder and give us perspective on what happened and how. The teacher herself is among the narrators who look back on a life that reveals love for her family and an unexpected turn of events that alters all their lives.

DG Footlights™ is a program, created and moderated by the Dramatists Guild, that connects dramatists with free space in which to hold a public reading of a new work that is currently in development. This initiative operates on a space-grant model: a representative from the Guild will arrange for a venue to donate space during allocated dates and times, and will ensure that the space is available for dramatists to use to present a self-produced reading to the public, with an optional feedback session following the reading.

Attendance is always free and open to all.
