Staged reading of Norton I at 7:30 pm Friday and Saturday in Purple Masque.
The event is free.
The play – an original work by student Jonah Ericson – concerns the historical figure of Norton, who proclaimed himself Emperor in 19th Century San Francisco. Though slightly delusional, the kindly Norton encounters obstruction and political enemies as he attempts to bring hope to the people of the Bay Area.
Come support your fellow students and performers with this unique opportunity to experience a NEW work.
Talkbacks with the playwright will occur after each show.
