BETTER is a one-night-only fundraiser reading focused on developing new work in front of an audience.
Written by Vince Gatton and directed by Matthew Elkins, the play is a darkly comic drama set inside a high-security meat-processing plant, where long-standing routines are disrupted and the pressure for change becomes impossible to ignore.
This special reading also marks Kaia Gerber’s return to our stage for this one-time reading, alongside Tracie Lockwood, Emily Jerez, and Michael D. Cohen. Your ticket directly supports the development of new plays and the artists who bring them to life.
