The American Foundation for Equal Rights and Broadway Impact’s:

“8” The Play - A Staged Reading
by Dustin Lance Black

Directed by Aaron Holbritter

Chronicling the events surrounding the California Supreme Court case which
deemed Proposition 8, a ballot initiative to deny same-sex couples the
right to marry, unconstitutional, Oscar winning screenwriter Dustin Lance
Black ("Milk", "J. Edgar") brings to life the events surrounding the case
in this compelling documentary play. Using personal interviews, court
records and transcripts, “8” reveals the personal stories of the plaintiffs
and the ensuing legal drama brought forth when “we put fear and prejudice
on trial.”

Join us for this incredibly moving ONE-NIGHT-ONLY event. A brief panel
discussion regarding the impact of Prop 8 and the trial on the nationwide
issue of marriage equality will occur immediately following the
performance. The case is scheduled to be heard by the US Supreme Court on
March 26.

The Pride Center will be hosting a Reception and Cast Meet and Greet at the
Charles F. Lucas Confectionary and Wine Bar following the reading.
