A staged reading of a new play by Rick Mitchell, in collaboration with Hollywood?s Theatre of NOTE, which chronicles the adventures of two people who meet on a rooftop in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans while escaping rising floodwaters from Hurricane Katrina. The pair inadvertently travel back in history, to New Orleans and California, and visit other disasters to discover that racial conflict and natural catastrophe are never far removed. The play is based, in part, on recent interviews with disaster survivors.
An audience talk-back will follow the performace.
Part of the California Council for the Humanities California Stories grant (www.calhum.org) entitled: ?Natural Disaster: California, New Orleans, the World.?
