We’re excited to continue our series of one-act solo plays by writers in the BIPOC community, commissioned by City Lights and released on video so that all will be able to experience them. During the month of June, our next play, Vincent Terrell Durham’s 61 Unused Pages, is available to watch on demand.
61 Unused Pages will also be shown on the big screen on the City Lights stage on June 19! Learn more about the June 19 screening.
In the play, an unexpected delivery forces a son to confront childhood memories and the pain left by his absentee father. Directed by Aldo Billingslea, the 40-minute play stars Deimoni Brewington and was edited by Erik Gandolfi. This series is generously supported by Mission City Community Fund.
After you purchase your on-demand ticket to 61 Unused Pages, you’ll receive a Vimeo link in your confirmation email to allow you to watch at any time. You’ll also receive a special promo code for a free on-demand ticket to our other digital play, Lola Cooked Our Food, by Jeffrey Lo. Enjoy!
