Reginald Edmund (MFA '09), a resident playwright at
Chicago Dramatists, will have his play "SOUTHBRIDGE" read on Saturday, February 4, at the Windy City's new play development house. About the play:
A white widow is assaulted and an angry mob is at the jailhouse door, screaming “Lynch him!” The only way to untangle the truth is for the accused, Christopher C. Davis, to review the events that have lead him to the hangman’s tree in Athens, Ohio, in the year 1881.
Read more about Edmund's reading and the Saturday Series. Since 1979, Chicago Dramatists has been dedicated to a single
