Join us for a public reading of Beth Graham’s new work, Out of the Blue
Rae Anne quits her job.
A pebble is dropped in a pool of water.
Eric is apprehended by mall security for stealing a pack of gum.
The water ripples outward.
Faye throws her unmentionables out of her car window.
And outward.
Steve tells a lie.
And outward.
An exploration of the ripple effect of human interaction.
