Wishing you well with the reading, Trey!  "The Erotic Life of Property" is
one of three projects selected for this year's PlayLabs at the Playwrights'
Center, and I am truly looking forward to supporting Carson's work on the
piece's further development.

Please report back how the reading was received!
Thanks,
Megan

>Hi RATs,
>
>On Tuesday, June 20 at 8pm,  Moving Arts will present a reading of THE
>EROTIC LIFE OF PROPERTY  by Chicago playwright Carson Grace Becker,
>directed by Gleason Bauer.  Featuring DG Bannon, Frankie Cohen, Cameron
>McHarg, Timothy Orona, and Melissa Marie Thomas.
>
>In the heart of an urban ghetto, the collision between a computer savvy
>prostitute, a mendicant artist from Belfast, and two eccentric orphans
>challenges all advertised notions of family, gender, and possession.  THE
>EROTIC LIFE OF PROPERTY explores both the shame and the honor marginalized
>people experience within our contemporary codes of hierarchy and
>materialism.                    As socially defined outcasts, these
>characters initally retreat into addiction, isolation, and false pretense.
>But self-abuse is transformed into self-worth when the principles of
>communion and atonement emerge, as each character confronts their own
>fragmentation to reclaim mind, body, and soul.
>
>The reading will be held at Moving Arts' mainstage at the Los Angeles
>Theatre Center, Theatre 5C, 514 South Spring St. in downtown Los Angeles.
>There is ample parking in the gated lot at 6th and Main.
>
>Admission is free.  A discussion will follow the reading.
>
>Please call for reservations:  (213) 622-8906, Box 4 (Literary Dept.)
>
>We hope to see you there!
