MIRACLE DAY - a staged reading of the new play by Tom Sime, Writer in Residence at the Theatres at 45 Bleecker. Directed by Jaime Castañeda

Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - 8:00 p.m.

Theatres at 45 Bleecker, The Green Room - 45 Bleecker Street at Lafayette in the East Village, New York City

The free reading will be followed by a discussion with the writer, director and cast. Rumor has it that free beer will be served after the show

What if there was a pill that really did make it all better? Adam Smith (Resident Director for Tom's company The Modern Stage) stars as Matthew, a painter whose career and love life surge into overdrive under the influence of a powerful new painkiller. Only after Matthew also gets his girlfriend, art dealer and drug dealer involved with this purportedly non-addictive wonder pill do its more disturbing side effects emerge. But Miracle Day isn't really about drugs; it's about love, friendship, art, sex, souls relieved of all inhibition, and what happens when you achieve the life you've always wanted, then find out you can't live it anymore. The cast also features Kristina Olson, Damian Maffei and Marcella Goheen. Stage directions will be read by Jonathan Reed Wexler

Live pre-show and ambient music will be performed by Vern Woodhead and Yana Davydova of the band The Epicures
