The Half Life of Sgt. Jen Hunter mini- staged reading
Reading from Tracy Baim's s new novel, first seen as a play by the same name) by Bev Spangler and Kelli Strickland, actors from the original stage production and most recently seen in the film "Hannah Free"exploring the experiences of a lesbian military sergeant who serves during the Gulf War in the early 1990s, before Don' t Ask, Don' t Tell, when tens of thousands of gays and lesbians proudly served their country, while living the double life of the closet. DADT has been repealed, this story is perfectly timed to shed light on the not-so-distant past and the real-life repercussions of laws that demand we compromise who we are. Joining Baim at this event will be Bev Spangler and Kelli Strickland, actors from the original stage production (who both were most recently seen in the film "Hannah Free"). A staged reading of the play Half Life will be accompanied by a reading from the book.
