The Interart Development Series, in collaboration with Zena Group Theater, present a workshop production of a new play by Josh Liveright entitled Illumination Rounds. Paul Smithyman directs.

In the midst of a horrible siege in Philadelphia, a war journalist mining for "truth" finds himself trapped in an abandoned room with a woman sniper fighting for her "freedom" during the final days of civil war. The Bill of Rights has been permanently suspended and no one is exempt from suspicion of being a "terrorist". Illumination Rounds is the story of how the journalist and sniper attempt to transcend their fears and prejudices in a climate of extreme violence and fear. The play "illuminates" the faces of these two people and so illuminates the forces that have brought them to this point in their lives. In the end, they are profoundly changed by each other.
