Hi, Bummers! This Sunday, June 14, City Lights Theater in San Jose is hosting dynamic staged readings of two new plays, and we'd love to hear your feedback! This year's "Lights Up!" festival features Breadcrumbs, Honey, & Bone by Lauren Doyle, directed by Erin Southard; and The Great Gatsby from the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, adapted by Kit Wilder and directed by Mark Anderson Phillips. Our playwrights are excited to hear your feedback in the audience talkbacks after the readings.

And check out this awesome array of actors! Our cast: April Culver, Nick Mandracchia, Roneet Aliza Rahamim, Caitlin Lawrence Papp, Jackie Roach, Lauren Berling, Christian Pizzirani, Wesley Barker, Filip Hofman, Damian Vega and Dan Roach.

The day starts at 1 p.m. and also includes a Maker Fair of local artists. The first play reading begins at 2 p.m., followed by the talkback. Then stay with us for a spaghetti feed (with vegetarian and non-vegetarian options) and more time at the maker fair. The second play reading starts at 5:30, followed by the second talkback. Tickets for all the day’s events are $20 general and $10 for students.

Join us at 529 S. Second St. in downtown San Jose! Get details and tickets.
