A script-in-hand staged reading of a two-act drama with music, “Clary’s Exodus” by Rachel Rubin Ladutke on Saturday, March 19 at 3pm. The production will be followed by a lively discussion with the playwrights, directors, actors and audience.
“Clary’s Exodus” is set in Harlem in 1926. With Prohibition is full swing, and blues clubs sizzling hot, the story centers on a girl struggling to cope with a shocking truth about her past and a woman trying to find her own path to spirituality without losing her soul. Various musical styles help
depict the characters’ very different background, including the driving sound of urban blues, Jewish religious music, and popular radio evangelist tunes.
