RAT Moving Arts Playreading 5/22

[Trey Nichols <treynichols@movingarts.org>]

Fellow RATs,

On Tuesday May 22 at 8:00 pm Moving Arts will present a reading of FLOATER,
a play by Casey McCabe, directed by Julie Briggs.

Having just been freed from high school, Jesse James Dupree confronts the
terror and beauty of impending adulthood by embarking with his best friend
on a 1200 mile journey to study life at the feet of the only adult he ever
trusted:  the mysterious Joey Velvet.  A suitor to Jesse's mother, Velvet
filled young Jesse's head with visions of the glorious existence that comes
from deferred responsibility, a philosophy Velvet calls "floating."
Through confrontational sessions with his appointed psychologist and a
series of selective flashbacks, Jesse undergoes the grueling deconstruction
of teenage myth, emerging perhaps stronger than the adults who surround
him, who are forced into some discomforting epiphanies of their own lost
youth.

Casey McCabe is a San Francisco-based journalist, playwright and
screenwriter.  His first play, DREAMING OF NORTON, won First Prize in the
1991 Bay Guardian Playwrights Festival.  His articles and essays have
appeared in Premiere, American Film, Mother Jones, Alaska Airlines, San
Francisco Chronicle, Detroit Free Press, The Nose and other publications.
He is also a regular contributor and host of the nationally syndicated
radio program Movie Magazine

The reading of FLOATER will be held at Moving Arts' mainstage at the Los
Angeles Theatre Center, 514 South Spring St. in downtown Los Angeles.
There is ample parking in the gated lot at 6th and Main, just behind the
theatre.

Admission is free.  Reservations are not required.  A discussion will
follow the reading.
