The Pacific Conservatory Theatre (PCPA) presents two upcoming virtual readings of The Agitators, to be streamed live through Zoom on Friday, Sept. 18, at 7 p.m., and Saturday, Sept. 19, at 1:30 p.m. Penned by playwright Mat Smart, this historical play is centered on the friendship between Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony.
The play reading will be followed by a talkback with the actors and crew and will be the first entry in PCPA’s InterPlay series, which will run through Oct. 24. Other selected plays include Andrew Bovell’s Things I Know To Be True (Friday, Oct. 9, and Saturday, Oct. 10) and Octavio Solis’ Mother Road (Friday, Oct. 16, and Saturday, Oct. 17) and three additional titles that have yet to be announced.
Pre-registration to join each live reading through Zoom is available online at pcpa.org, for $5 per play. Call the PCPA Box Office at (805) 922-8313 for more details.
