American Dream

This is a staged reading of Brad Erickson’s American Dream. Mark Routhier directs.  Discussion with the playwright, the director and actors will follow the reading so the audience can express opinions and ask questions.

The USA-Mexico border plays a pervasive role in  American Dream, as it proves a barrier between an American language student and his teacher, challenges his ex-wife who has issues with letting go, and mobilizes a Minute Man and his pothead nephew.CAST  Michael Keys Hall* Julia McNeal* Kate Fox Marcom  Jack Powell*  Alex Ross  Adrian Cervantes Mejia  Rowan Brooks**Member Actors Equity Union  Playwrights’ Lab is the new play development program of 142 Throckmorton Theatre.  The Lab offers readings of full-length plays by Lab members six times a year as well as the Writers with Attitude festival in February and special programs with students.  Playwrights’ Lab is partially supported by a grant from the Marin Arts Council and by 142 Throckmorton Theatre.
