The District Arts Collaborative, with license from the American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER) and Broadway Impact, is proud to announce, in celebration of Pride Month, a two-night-only reading of “8,” a play chronicling the historic trial in the federal constitutional challenge to California’s Proposition 8, written by Academy Award-winning screenwriter and AFER Founding Board Member Dustin Lance Black.
The production is an unprecedented account of the Federal District Court trial in Perry v. Schwarzenegger (now Hollingsworth v. Perry), the case filed by AFER that successfully overturned Proposition 8 and restored the freedom to marry for gay and lesbian couples in California.
Black, who penned the Academy Award-winning feature films Milk and J. Edgar, based “8” on the actual words of official trial transcripts, first-hand observations of the courtroom drama and interviews with the plaintiffs and their families.
Tickets are $10 in advance, $20 at the door!
