November 13th at 4pm - "Señorita Julia" - The Pacific Playwrights Conference of San Diego

The Pacific Playwrights Conference of San Diego

The Drama Department in coordination with New Fortune Theatre. Amigos del Rep and The Pacific Playwrights Conference is doing a day of staged reading of new plays. This is the third year of the Pacific Playwrights Conference and we need your support.

Our first reading will be Nov 13th at 4pm entitled "Señorita Julia" written by Matthew Salazar-Thompson

SYNOPSIS: In a tragic updated retelling of Strindberg's classic tale of servitude and status, Jose and Christina live under the auspice of Julia and her father, Mr. Warner. Blending themes from "Miss Julie" and Percy Shelly's "Prometheus Unbound" we find that the relationship between a Jewish kept daughter and a Chicano valet escalate to a dangerous consummation in a world that is not ready to accept the differences between class, race, and religion.

With the division our country is currently embroiled in, this piece explores the topic oimmigration and delves deeply into the Chicano models of The American Dream.

This reading is being read on campus of SD City College's Blackbox Theatre, AH 318, Nov 13th at 4pm. We will have a talk back afterwards .

This play is specifically being read during the day in order for students to attend. I am offering my students extra credit for participating, and I hope that you will spread the word.

The reading is free to the public and anyone may attend. There is a website with more information about the Pacific Playwrights Conference of San Diego.

The piece stars Yvette Angelo, Steven Lone, Dave Rivas, Rachael Van Wormer, Syliva Enrique, Lauren Jimenez, BJ Lawrence, Amber Grayson and Faeren Adams.

 

 The piece runs about 80 minutes.

 Thank you.  Hope things are great!!
