“8” At 6 At The Unitarian Universalist Society In Stamford

Don't miss “8”, the latest production penned by Academy Award-winner Dustin Lance Black, in a live staged reading at the Unitarian Universalist Society in Stamford, tomorrow evening, featuring New Fairfield-based performers Luchina Fisher and Chris Creter.

Moving and as timely as can be, the play makes use of actual court transcripts and interviews to craft a compelling 90-minute presentation of multiple perspectives, recounting the efforts of two gay couples who challenged California’s infamous Proposition 8 ruling opposing same-sex marriage. The case of Hollingsworth v. Perry is currently before the U.S. Supreme Court, with a ruling pending this month.
