Part of the theatre's New Play Readings series, the evening will feature the talents of Peter Strauss, Laila Robins, Marin Ireland, Debargo Sanyal, Patricia Conolly and Molly Ward. Carolyn Cantor directs.

The performance will be followed by a talkback session with playwright Walsh-Smith.

"One moment Julian Lawton is attempting to salvage his marriage, the next he is forced to consider whether life support could jeopardize the soul's immortality," state press notes for The Last Journey. "[The play] questions technology's role in the metaphysical. Will ghosts of the past cause Julian to glimpse the unknown and make the right decision?"

Peter Strauss won an Emmy Award for his work in "The Jericho Mile" and was also Emmy-nominated for his performances in "Rich Man, Poor Man" and "Masada." He was seen on Broadway in Einstein and the Polar Bear and Off-Broadway in Chinese Friends and Sabina.
