Sun Valley Playwright’s Residency presents
A Play Reading
SPEECH & DEBATE
By Stephen Karam
Directed by Benjamin Burdick
Saturday, October 25 at 7:00 PM
The Liberty Theater, Hailey, Idaho
Sun Valley Playwright’s Residency is partnering again with Boise Contemporary Theater and Boise State University to bring you a reading of one of our 25/26 Resident Playwright’s early plays that put him on the map as a major voice in the American theatre. The evening begins with a conversation between Tony Award Winner Stephen Karam and Artistic Director John Baker, followed by a reading of Speech and Debate, which tells the story of three teenagers in Salem, Oregon. When one of them discovers the truth about a sex scandal in their town… secrets become currency, blogs are belted, and the trio’s connection grows deeper in this dark comedy with music.
Presented in partnership with The Community Library, Boise Contemporary Theater, and Boise State University’s Department of Theatre, Film & Creative Writing.
Tickets: FREE! And open to the public. Reservations highly recommended.
