Larry Bryggman, Tituss Burgess, and Ylfa Edelstein will star in a free staged reading of Keeping Time, written by Joe Cacaci with music by Bernie Wallace, to take place at 8pm on Wednesday, July 28 at Monument Mountain Regional High School in Great Barrington, Massachusetts.

The play, which is set in New York City in 1965, concerns two close friends: Willie, a black pianist, composer, and singer, and Paul, a white singer, who are finally on the verge of getting their big break when they get caught up in the civil rights movement. Additional casting will be announced at later date.

Cacaci is the founding co-artistic director of the Berkshire Playwrights Lab, and is best known for his television work, which includes the series The Trials of Rosie O’Neill, The Hoop Life, and The Education of Max Bickford.
