STAGED READING OF A NEW PLAY

TAR BEACH

Written by Tammy Ryan

Directed by Ellie Heyman.

It is July 1977. Son of Sam is on the loose and New York City is in the midst of a brutal heat wave. Sixteen year-old Mary Claire and her best friend Mary Francis start that day sunning themselves on the roof of an Ozone Park row house. Younger sister Reenie is searching for her lost Greek Mythology class project, while their parents are consumed by the battles of their troubled marriage. An overstressed electrical grid leads to a citywide blackout and a sudden loss of innocence.
