About the play...
Sequel to Love’s DEFAULT. Set in 2016, Barker Hudson III has since passed on and African American U.S. Senator Esther Bailey is running for re-election, but she's in trouble…her poll numbers are down. Her two challengers, a Democratic Socialist and a populist with ties to extremist groups, are ahead of her by double digits; yet, it is her daughter Emily, a writer for a leftist online magazine, who could sway the course of the election. But how?
About the venue…Metropolitan Arts Institute is located at 1700 N 7th Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85007. There is parking accessible through two ramps that lead under the building on the ground level of the property off 7th Avenue. Guests are welcome to park in ANY space, regardless of how it is labeled. Follow the signs from the parking lot to the theatre. The entrance to the theatre is located up the center staircase in the garage (the one with the “Scorpius Dance” banner on it). There is also elevator access available toward the north end of the parking lot. Please note that this is a school property and a drug-free zone. No smoking, vaping, etc. is permitted on the property.
DG Footlights™ is a program, created and moderated by the Dramatists Guild, that connects dramatists with free space in which to hold a public reading of a new work that is currently in development. This initiative operates on a space-grant model: a representative from the Guild will arrange for a venue to donate space during allocated dates and times, and will ensure that the space is available for dramatists to use to present a self-produced reading to the public, with an optional feedback session following the reading.
Attendance is always free and open to all.
