We conclude our Spring 2008 Lit&Lunch season with playwright John Biguenet speaking about his Pulitzer-nominated play RISING WATER and his work with international theater. Ryan Rilette of Marin Theatre Company will direct two local actors in a staged reading from RISING WATER. Set in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, RISING WATER broke all box-office records at the Southern Repertory Theatre in New Orleans; its first West Coast production just opened to glowing reviews at the Maverick Theater in Fullerton, CA.

THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER raves, "RISING WATER emerges as a great American play, perhaps one of the first great plays of the 21st century." Co-sponsored by Magic Theatre.
