HARP Theatricals to present the premiere of new play GROUP via Zoom

New York based theatre company HARP Theatricals will livestream the premiere of new play, Group, via Zoom on 18 May at 8pm EST, before being made available on demand on Youtube.

Group is a contemporary piece that explores the depth and intricacies of group therapy, more specifically during the COVID-19 pandemic when the intimate practice is thrust into the virtual realm. The show follows a handful of adults and their ‘fearless’ therapist, whose tactics are somewhat questionable. As her clients' stories unfold, so do her own.

Written by Shelby Solla and Keira McGill, Group is a laugh-out-loud comedy that highlights the importance of accessible pathways to finding help.

The reading is directed by Sarah Rosenthal and will feature Jamie Green as Simon, Melissa Aquiles as Izzie, Ned Burton as Morgan, Macarena Ramos as Beth, Bryce Valle as Jordan, and Jodi Beck as Selma.

The reading is free to view on Youtube but there is a suggested $5 donation to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) here.

Group will be livestreamed via YouTube here.
