A tale of two neighbors

The cast: Dami'on, Jenny, Andrew, Malika, Anna, Kristal

Last night Streetlamp Studio unveiled the script for their upcoming play. The cast gathered at the tutoring center for what they call a "table read." This means they read through the script together in character. A small audience gathered with them to hear the script performed this first time. Our job was to offer our personal reactions to the characters, storyline and dialogue. The play tells the story of two neighbors traversing barriers of culture and background to build a friendship. Those of us listening last night are each on our own journey with intentional, cross-cultural, barrier-crossing relationships. The Streetlamp team wanted to hear how the story they created and the characters they were portraying connected with our own experiences. What a honor to be included in this way!


The title of the play is Next Door and performances will be Fri 8/21, Sat 8/22, Fri 8/29 and Sat 8/29 at 8:00pm. Check the Streetlamp Studio website for location and ticket information. And please pray for the production process. The cast will be rehearsing at the tutoring center today, and during many weekends and evenings for the next 6 weeks. Pray for God to bless each castmember and director as they work and for God to speak challenge, hope and courage into the lives of all who attend the performances!
