Theatre Program Director at Marywood University to Showcase His Play in New York City

The play, Guarding the Bridge, written by theatre program director Chuck Gorden, will have two performances in New York City this month.

The play is being produced by Ripple Effect Artists, a 501 (c)(3) Actors Equity Association company that focuses on issues of social justice and change. Mr. Gorden will be in attendance at both performances, participating in talk-back sessions with the audience. Curtain time is at 7 p.m., both evenings.
