Theatre--Staged Reading

AUI/AURA will present the first workshop reading of Why We Fall,  a new play by local playwright, Cody Daigle.

After an attempt at suicide, 17-year old Lee Fielding and his mother, Maura, attempt to move forward. Matters are complicated as Lee develops a potentially dangerous friendship with Nela, a fellow classmate, and struggles to contain a truth about his teacher, Matt.  Why We Fall explores how we find ourselves at rock bottom and what we do to dig ourselves out.  Why We Fall will receive a staged reading by On The Square Productions, a Manhattan-based theatre company, in New York City in March. This workshop is part of the show's development process for the New York reading.

The reading will take place on Saturday, February 12th and Sunday, February 13th at 7:30 pm at Cite Des Arts in downtown Lafayette. Admission is free. A talkback will follow the performances.
