An invitation-only industry reading of the new play with music, Gray Mare, will be held September 29 at 1 PM at The Barrow Group in Studio 1. 

Written by Hannah Benitez (GringoLandia) with a score by Indecent co-composer Lisa Gutkin (The Klezmatics), the reading will be directed by Hannah Ryan (Hamilton), who also developed the new work.

The cast will feature John Ahlin (Waiting for Godot), David Gregory (The Good Fight), Kelly Lester (N/A, Barrington Stage), and Kelly Pekar (London, Talley’s Folly).

In Gray Mare, an outsider arrives at an isolated farm and destabilizes family dynamics: Mother and Daughter realize that everything Father has taught them, down to the very meanings of words, may not be true. Encountering new dangers from the outside world, Daughter discovers she has more power than she realizes—learning to control an innate “gift” that can be used to communicate or destroy.

Russell Buchan is producing.
