# Event Details - **Event Name**: CWP Launchpad Reading Series: "Sour Grapes" by Annabel McConnachie - **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 24 Aug, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Mon, 24 Aug, 2026 at 08:30 pm - **Event Description**: When two Catholic school girls claim that water in a consecrated chalice turned into wine, a panicked lie grows into a miracle.About this EventAbout the Performance:When two Catholic school girls claim that water in a consecrated chalice turned into wine, what begins as a panicked lie snowballs into a full-blown miracle. Suddenly dubbed “the miracle girls,” Lucy and Gemma find themselves at the center of a growing wave of religious fervor as classmates, clergy, and local Catholic media project sainthood onto two deeply unqualified teenagers. Darkly funny, theatrical, and emotionally sharp, Sour Grapes explores belief as performance, the seduction of attention, and what happens when a story becomes more important than the truth.eans to seek dignity, connection, and authenticity in a world that often demands silence or performance. While deeply rooted in the Black male experience, the stories speak to universal themes of humanity, belonging, fear, hope, and healing.Cast & CrewWriter, Producer, and Actor: Annabel McConnachieStage Manager: Chelsea CastroAbout the Lead Artists:Annabel McConnachie is a Sydney-born playwright, performer, and producer based in New York City.
