LezPlay
Pride Films & Plays invites you to attend a staged reading of the winner of the 2018 LezPlay Contest: Daisies on Harlem's Doorstep by Sharece M. Sellem. It's Spring of 1929 in Harlem, a season before the stock market crashes and the world suffers the Great Depression. The streets are filled with lights and glitter, and for an innocent Daisy, who only wants to find her sister, four very different women show her how to grow in concrete. LezPlay honors excellence in storytelling by playwrights and screenwriters who identify as women and who present lesbian characters and themes in a pivotal, positive way. Allison Fradkin serves as Literary Coordinator of the contest and Myesha-Tiara McGarner directs the staged reading, whose cast features Jerluane Jenkins, Sana Selemon, Clarycia Bell, Isis Davis, Tarina Bradshaw, and Tamarus Harvell. All seats are $11 and may be purchased in advance or at the door.
