Community Invited to Reading of Playwright’s Newest Production

From Raintree Writing Service:

A staged reading of Mark E. Leib’s “Salk: Or The Possibility Of Goodness” will take place at American Stage in St. Petersburg on Aug. 21 at 7 p.m.

Leib’s new play is about Jonas Salk and the polio vaccine. It asks whether Salk was motivated by altruism or by personal ambition—or a volatile mix of both. A talkback with the author will follow the reading.

Leib is theatre critic for Creative Loafing; his other plays have been produced in New York, Boston, Edinburgh and elsewhere. He’s also a visiting instructor at the and a resident of Temple Terrace.

American Stage is located at 163 Third St. North in St. Pete. Admission is pay-what-you-choose.
