Ecstatic Peephole is a monthly play reading series at Pete's Candy Store curated and hosted by Emma Horwitz and Bailey Williams. Every third Monday we refract into a fish eye and experience the silly, the uncanny, the physically impossible, and more!
This month we read The Last Conductor in the World by Julia Izumi.
Julia Izumi’s plays include Regretfully, So the Birds Are (Playwrights Horizons/WP Theater), Akira Kurosawa Explains His Movies and Yogurt (with Live & Active Cultures!) (Woolly Mammoth/New Georges), miku, and the gods. (ArtsWest), Sometimes the Rain, Sometimes the Sea (Rorschach Theatre), and others. Her work has been developed at MTC, Clubbed Thumb, Bushwick Starr, Ojai Playwrights Conference, Portland Center Stage, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and Berkeley Rep’s Ground Floor.
