8 THE PLAY by Dustin Lance Black

Join us for a staged reading of the critically acclaimed new play "8".  A cast of award-winning local theatre pros will help you uncover the truth about marriage for gay and lesbian Americans. "8"a new play by Academy-award winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black (Milk, J. Edgar) demystifies the debate around marriage equality by chronicling the landmark trial of Perry v. Schwarzenegger (now Hollingsworth v. Perry). Learn about the historical context of marriage from expert testimony. See the human cost of discrimination. Uncover the arguments used to justify bans on marriage for gay and lesbian couples. Using the actual court transcripts from the landmark federal trial of California's Prop. 8 and first-hand interviews, "8" shows both sides of the debate in a moving 90-minute play. Directed by Steven Einhorn.  Proceeds will help benefit the American Foundation for Equal Rights.
