The Judge and His Daughter by Ruth Apolonia Zamoyta (A Free Staged Reading)

Urban Stages has developed into a bigger and more diverse organization since our beginnings in 1984 under the direction of founding and current Artistic Director, Frances Hill. We began as a producing organization dedicated to developing and producing new plays relevant to the multi-cultural nature of our contemporary world. Today, we continue that commitment while establishing an extensive Outreach Program found through the New York Public Library and school system throughout the five boroughs. Our Outreach Program offers often underserved communities free, professional quality theatre and Arts in Education opportunities. Please contact Lori Ann Laster, Program Director for more information. In 2001, Urban Stages acquired a charming theatre at 259 West 30th Street with 75 seats, two rehearsal rooms, workshop, and storage facilities. Our theatre space is extremely versatile, with the ability to play as an intimate black box and is easily transformed with occasionally elaborate multi-level sets. We are thrilled to report that the majority of our patrons rave about our comfortable our seating is and our exceptional sightlines. Urban Stages recently completed the third year of Urban Stages Summer Theatre Camp Program (ages 11 to 14).

<h3>Wednesday, August 14th | 7pm The Judge and His Daughter By Ruth Apolonia Zamoyta. Directed Kim T. Sharp. </h3>A fictional conservative Supreme Court justice whisks away his environmental-radicalist 16-year-old daughter to a camp in the Adirondacks when she is suspended for destroying her school’s air conditioning system with a sledgehammer. As they will be living in the wilderness together until she "learns to behave," they submit to the family psychologist’s rules designed to help them get along: He can’t talk about God or banish her to her room. She can’t blame him for everything and has to relinquish her phone. The plan works; the two are starting to enjoy each other’s company, fishing, hunting, searching for an elusive moose, and discussing the Supreme Court docket. But, when the daughter discovers her father's ulterior motive for bringing her to the camp, the Judge is faced with the hardest decision of his life: does he sacrifice his ideological beliefs for the sake of his family?This event is a part of Urban Stages' Dynamic Duos series - a free staged reading series that spotlights the magic that unfolds when two actors share the stage.Free Admission.
