Single Carrot Theatre is launching a new series: Playread With Me!

And informal and free reading series on identity in America, Playread With Me! will feature plays that address issues ranging from gender and sexuality to race and representation.

Join us at the WindUp Space in Station North, for this exciting cross between a staged reading and book club. Read roles alongside actors, or just listen, then stick around for a facilitated discussion of the play's themes and its relevance to the community!

THE PLAY:

An Octoroon
By Branden Jacobs-Jenkins
Wednesday, February 1st at the Wind-Up Space: doors at 5:30pm, reading at 6pm
Judge Peyton is dead and his plantation Terrebonne is in financial ruins. Petyon’s handsome nephew George arrives as heir apparent and quickly falls in love with Zoe, a
beautiful octoroon. But the evil overseer M’Closky has other plans – for both Terrebonne and Zoe. In 1859, a famous Irishman wrote this play about slavery in America. Now an American tries to write his own.
