In honor of Terrence McNally, who recently passed away at age 81 of complications from COVID-19, four actors—each participating from a remote location—will perform a live online reading of Mothers and Sons on Thursday, April 16 at 7 p.m.
This is an encore reading of the play the company presented in fall 2018 during the run of their production of McNally's It's Only a Play. Participating actors will include Michelle McKenzie-Voigt, Benjamin Sprunger, Cody Dericks and Patrick Scott McDermott.
This reading of Mothers and Sons can be viewed for $10 per access. Proceeds will help Pride Films and Plays continue to produce and create important LGBTQ stories. Remote viewing tickets are on sale now at PrideFilmsAndPlays.com or 866-811-4111.
Instructions on how to access the reading will be e-mailed to those purchasing remote viewing tickets.
