An innovative project that presents dramatic readings by Reg E. Cathey (House of Cards, The Wire), Gloria Reuben (ER), Glenn Davis (24, The Unit), and Samira Wiley (Orange Is the New Black) of scenes from Sophocles’ Antigone, for large, diverse audiences composed of concerned citizens, members of faith communities, and members of the law enforcement community, with the goal of generating powerful dialogue between these communities and fostering compassion, understanding, and positive action.
