    ReadFest Houston and The Landing Theatre Company

     

    ReadFest Houston was created to showcase the kind of work Houston companies do and are known for.  As a company we devote significant time helping playwrights develop new work and providing exposure for their new work.  That is what we are showcasing for this first ReadFest event.

     

    Reggie has written what we believe is an important and challenging work.  It is poetic, lyrical, haunting, beautiful and timely.  And we hope to further its development through our exploration of it.  The work features a cast of seven women, and will be directed by Houston native, Timothy Eric. 

     

     

    **Daughters of the Moon has had workshops at UConn/ Connecticut Repertory Theatre and Chicago Dramatists Theatre
