Join us for an extraordinary conclusion to the John Patrick Shanley Festival as the celebrated playwright himself directs a staged reading of his new play, co-produced by Brave New Works, Five Steps To Transcendence. This intimate evening offers a rare glimpse into the creative process of one of America's most distinguished dramatists.
Doors open at 6:30 PM, show starts at 7:00 PM.
Following the reading, immerse yourself in an illuminating talkback with Shanley and the cast.

If you’d like to keep the conversation going, we’ll be heading to Alpina after the event. No formal plans—just a casual spot to unwind, chat, and grab a drink or a bite.
