Staged Reading of The Last Stand

Channeling the stark inevitability of a Greek tragedy, the courtroom drama in The Last Stand plumbs the aftermath of Custer’s horrific battle. Based on the actual Reno Court of Inquiry in 1879, the play is inhabited with Custer’s widow, ghosts, Indian apparitions and the surviving troopers of the 7th Cavalry, all grappling with truth, loyalty, and the futility of war.
As Major Reno, Custer’s second in command, defends himself in court against accusations of cowardice, the full extent of the genocidal policy by the United States against the Plains Indian tribes is revealed.
This special staged reading of The Last Stand is from 3-5 p.m. and discussion and refreshments are from 5-7 p.m. The event offers a unique opportunity to participate in the creation of an exciting new work!
