Bodhi Tree Concerts (BTC) will present a free reading of a new play, White Savior by La Jolla native playwright Catherine Filloux, on Sunday, Oct. 6, 7 p.m. at the Vision Center, 4780 Mission Gorge Place, San Diego.
This is the first time in Bodhi Tree’s history that the company presents a play without music. The reading will be followed by a community conversation with the playwright, the League of Women Voters San Diego Chapter, and special invited guests from the San Diego community. The play will also be live streamed via YouTube at Bodhi Tree Concerts’ channel. The League of Women Voters will also be providing voter registration at the show.
White Savior, which has been nominated for an award by the Playwrights’ Center Venturous List, is a comedy-drama that features two sisters, Jean and Susan, who can’t foresee a future together with their opposing worldviews. Into their lives enters Edward, a Black journalist, who visits the Desert Cactus Motel with them. When another family member comes west, new territory is laid bare.
The cast of White Savior features San Diego theatre luminaries Sandy Campbell and Linda Libby as Jean and Susan, and Durwood Murray as Edward. Vanessa Dinning is the director.
