There is no better way to celebrate 20 years of exceptional theater than with three new plays featuring the work of three celebrated writers through UCSB’s LAUNCH PAD, the beloved Summer Reading Series.
“Every summer, we invite three professional playwrights to UCSB to develop their new works in collaboration with a team of talented students,” says LAUNCH PAD Founder and Artistic Director Risa Brainin.
The readings will begin with Greek Tragedy by Lia Romero, known for her “sharp wit, emotional depth, and ability to capture the complexities of modern relationships,” says the Times Square Chronicles. The play centers around a famous influencer and her dull best friend. It is a timely story in our highly digital world, teaching us about telling stories and living our lives online.
