Off the Page: Shining

Ground and Field Theatre Festival‘s reading series, “Off the Page,” offers works read by actors in a simple setting with playwrights present.

The series begins with a reading of “Shining,” an exploration of myth and parenting, by Aidaa Peerzada and directed by Quoresimo. Shining and Spark are the son and daughter of Greek gods Helios and Clymene and they have a lot of questions. Are their parents really who they say they are? Why do boys have to go to school, and why isn’t Spark allowed to spark?
