Treehouse Theater154 W 29th St, New York, NY
In the wake of recent events surrounding the controversial film The Interview, the feeling that a threat to free speech has been imposed is inescapable and terrifying. In response to this, three comedians have acquired a draft of the script for the banned film and are producing a live-read at the Treehouse Theater on Saturday, December 27th at 7pm. Featuring some of the finest performers from the Upright Citizen’s Brigade theater, this is an opportunity for people to come together in the name of free speech, in defiance of all who have threatened it.
The script is close to the final version, and the performers are top notch. As the event is as much a political statement as a theatrical event, the show will be free. Come out and be part of something special.
The producers of this event are Dave Hensley, Sean Perrotta, and Benny Scheckner. They are New York City comedians who feel very strongly about bringing this film to you by whatever means necessary.
