Side Effects May Include… By Lisa Loomer | Evening reading
A look at the pills we take to keep chasing the American Dream…at any cost.
The readings will be followed by talkbacks about the play and the development process, which includes a week of workshopping the piece with Loomer, director Vanessa Stalling, dramaturg Tom Bryant, and the cast, including Amy Pietz as HIS MOTHER as well as an ensemble featuring David Kelly, Erica Sullivan, and Ellen D. Williams, with stage directions read by Ethan Grabowski.
“I found this play harrowing and heartbreaking,” says ANPF Artistic Director Jackie Apodaca. “It’s an unflinching look at pharma, consent, and motherhood–a necessary exploration of and for our times.”
