CALL FOR READERS FOR UPCOMING PRODUCTION!
Southwest Theatre Productions requests reader submissions for CAGES by Leonard Manzella, directed by Kat Sparks. This play is a strong production consideration.
Cages is inspired by true events. This original work portrays the inequality among inmates incarcerated for heinous crimes in the California prison system. Ages are somewhat flexible.
This reading will be held at Santa Cruz Studio Theater on Sunday, June 26th at 3PM. Details and script will be sent once all readers are confirmed.
