crusade. To further complicate matters, Jackie gets involved in a custody
battle with her ex-husband. Question: is (holy) water thicker than a

Hello Randy,

with, Keith Reddin's "Brutality of Fact." It is about a family that has to

deal with one of the family members becoming a Jehovah's Witness. It is a

dark comedy, but it treats the subject with great importance and

sensitivity. Basically, we feel this performance can help people deal with

serious subjects, in a gentle, easy to take way.

visting New York and/or have any friends who could appreciate this play,

they can come for free.

Hello Nathan,
Thank you for getting in touch and your very kind words. I hope things are well in Seattle.
FYI..."Brutality of Fact" is an Equity approved showcase (Actor's Union).

Unfortunately, under the Equity rules, it is illegal to tape any of it.
Let me know if you are interested in reading the script, though. I would be happy to mail you one!
Thank you for your support.
Best,
Jeffrey

Lori and I will be in the city Tues-Thurs, Aug. 22-24. We had planned on heading out later on Thursday, and only have hotel reservations for Tues and Wed nights.
The play runs on Thurs-Saturday nights.
If someone wanted to go on Thursday night, Aug.24, and had a spare room where we could sleep that night, we'd be glad to go with you.
PM us if that works for anyone. Can't really afford another night at a hotel, though we did get a good deal at $109 a night where we're staying.
