Join us at Everyman Theatre for this season’s final installment of our pay-what-you-choose reading series, SCRIPT TEASE. This time, we are featuring Dawn by Everyman Associate Artistic Director and Resident Company Member, Tuyết Thị Phạm, on April 7.

Get a unique glimpse into the creative process of playwriting while you enjoy a fun evening at the theatre where you can meet and mingle with other theatre enthusiasts like yourself! Light refreshments and a satellite bar will be available. Cocktail hour starts at 6pm and the reading begins at 7pm, followed by a Q&A with the playwright moderated by our Resident Dramaturg, Robyn Quick.

About the Play:

Dawn is the compelling story of a mother and daughter who confront their legacy of love and loss set against the backdrop of historical trauma. Mary, a first-generation Cambodian American, grapples with feelings of guilt, anger, and grief as she navigates her parents’ experiences and their differing beliefs as survivors of the Khmer Rouge. Their journey to reconcile the past is both painful and liberating, ultimately guiding them toward a path of healing.
