2025 Play Reading Series: "Parish Blood Drive" by Ryan Elmore
Reading Theater Project’s Play Reading Series features new plays by local and regional playwrights, performed as a staged reading.
Our first play in this series is Parish Blood Drive by Ryan Elmore.
"At the annual Holy Child Parish blood drive, Joe Wells enlists the help of his estranged daughter-in-law Leslie and his granddaughter Fran for administering donations. Familial tensions boil in the company of Maryann, a Red Cross nurse, and Terry and Sophia, two teenaged siblings come to donate. When a snowstorm forces them all to remain at the drive longer than any of them intended, conflict ensues. Dynamics change, truths are revealed, and lines are drawn. The play is a comedy that presents characters' inward thoughts with their outward actions, creating a contrast between what they mean and what they express."
The performance will be followed by a facilitated talkback with the playwright, director, and actors.
