SCORCH
BY STACEY GREGG
WHEN: Sunday – Apr 10 • 3 PM ET
WHERE: St. Thomas’ Parish, 1517 18th St NW, Washington, DC 20036
PRICE: Free, donations welcome
A touching and provocative story of first love through the eyes of a gender-curious teen, Stacey Gregg’s Scorch was inspired by recent UK cases of ‘gender fraud’. For those who feel they’re not living the right life, online is a place to be yourself. Out in the real world, though, things can be very different.
Join us for an afternoon with a new play read by some of DC’s most talented performers, followed by a post-show discussion with Artistic Director of Theatre, Rex Daugherty.
