SUMMARY:Rustbelt: Staged Reading
DESCRIPTION:Six actors will perform a staged reading of Rustbelt: 1984. A C
 ity in Crisis\, a new play by Damon Arrington MLA '16.\n\nRustbelt is a
  dark comedy set in 1984 that centers around an underground dance show in 
 the heart of the Rustbelt. A community is inspired to an uprising. This tw
 isted Erin Brockovich tale of environmental injustice challenges authority
  and questions the safety of our drinking water.\n\nMLA travel studio rese
 arch in 2015 to Detroit and subsequent thesis investigations in Chemical V
 alley\, West Virginia (both Rustbelt ecologies)\, have propelled this comm
 unity-driven research. Dramatic writing was conjured from a study of artif
 acts\, mesmerizing clips of a dance show in Detroit called The Scene promp
 ted a deeper study into systemic racism that transcended directly from the
  structures and policy placed on marginal\, red lined neighborhoods.\n\nTh
 e process of writing plays can be tedious and lengthy. Arrington's writin
 g has spanned more than one year. A Soho Rep workshop allowed him to hea
 r the play and begin to incorporate media elements including vintage foota
 ge into the piece. This reading will be the first time an audience has hea
 rd the play\, an exciting next step for the production.
