Digital Screening Event – Friday, April 30th 6-7:30 PM
Ten Chimneys along with Sojourner proudly announces the upcoming virtual screening of THE SHOT.
Sharon Lawrence, Emmy Award Winning actress and 2013 Ten Chimneys Lunt-Fontanne Fellow, who you will recognize from her appearances in Grey’s Anatomy, Law and Order, Queen Sugar and Curb Your Enthusiasm stars in a reading of Robin Gerber's play, THE SHOT, about Katharine Graham. The taped play reading focuses on Graham’s troubled marriage, with the title referring to the night Phil Graham takes his own life with a hunting rifle in the couple’s bathroom. Three days later, Katherine gathered her inner strength from all she had gone through to face a Board of Directors, all men, and acquiesce to what was the prevailing thought that the Washington Post would no longer be in her family. But she knew she had the strength to take over and emerge as a leader, becoming the publisher and CEO of the Post
Following the digital screening there will be a live Talk-Back Event featuring writer Robin Gerber and actress Sharon Lawrence.
