Blak Box Theater, 61231 Highway 62, Joshua Tree, CA
Written by CHARLES EVERED, directed by HOWARD SHANGRAW, starring KIRK GEIGER, JARROD RADNICH, and WENDY ROLFE-EVERED.
Saturday, April 21st at 7 pm. A reader’s theater presentation of “Adopt A Sailor”- presented as a gala fundraiser for the Cultural Center’s newest program division, The Charles J. Evered House, named for founder Charles Evered’s father. The Mission of the “CJE House” is to provide a safe and secure artistic residency that facilitates the creativity of veterans and those who serve in conflict zones.
“Evered’s razor sharp wit and dialogue help to illuminate this tale of the meeting of a young sailor from Arkansas who typifies navy core values: Honor, Courage and Commitment, with a sophisticated couple from New York City who hold their own, no less legitimate and equally heartfelt, set of values. Evered makes the grade in bringing both of these worlds together and reminding us that in a country so often split down the middle both politically and culturally, the truth is that all of us have more in common than we ever imagined.” -Christopher Scholl, Commander, United States Navy.
