Enjoy a staged reading of the play "The Gospel Singer" by contemporary writer C. S. Wyatt.

Set in 1987 and based on real events, the story centers on drag artist Isaac Dumont who has achieved a cult following performing as "Ruthie" in a local jazz haven where his life partner, a mechanic by trade, serves as the emcee. But Isaac's true desire is to sing the gospel music dearest to his heart --- a dream that rankles his religious community as much as his professional one.

Admission is "pay-as-you-go" at the door. Presented as part of In the Raw Festival, a series produced by Bricolage to give three local playwrights the opportunity to work closely with a dramaturg to revise, explore and solidify a new work. Each of the selected three plays will receive a weeklong workshop with a director, a dramaturg and professional actors culminating in a public reading. For more information, call (412) 471-0999.
