Staged Reading of Enron by Lucy Prebble

We have closed advanced ticket sales - but have plenty of seats available! Box office will be open at 7:00. See you tonite!

There is a truth about the importance of stories that is hard to reveal, and hard to admit. In Freehold classes, similarly, discovering "the you that you don't know" is our motto and constant endeavor. As Freehold expands in its new space with its electric new curriculum and faculty, this new series of readings that features Alumni aims to continue the mission of self-discovery outwardly to audiences as it has so successfully for over 25 years to established and emerging artists in Seattle.

Lucy Prebble's 'Enron' offers an hilarious and darkly tragic view into the human beings at the center of the unravelling of a global financial giant. The collapse of Enron in 2001 was a foreshadowing of the global financial meltdown of 2008: decisions of profound financial and social consequence being made in drab corporate offices by traders and accountants in a constant game of cat and mouse with government regulators and their own personal ethics.

Today, Republicans in Congress are actively working on rolling back the very legislation (Dodd Frank, the Volker Rule) put in place to prevent these kinds of events from recurring. This staged reading, with a crackerjack cast of experienced professionals and Freehold students, gives a glimpse into the world where an Internet connection and a phone can be all it takes to turn out the lights across the State of California.
