Project Y Theatre Company is presenting a free reading of Lauren Yee’s Hookman, directed by Lee Sunday Evans on Sunday, December 6th at ART/NY Bruce Mitchell Room, 520 8th Avenue, 3rd Floor, at 7:15PM as part of its Parity Plays: 50% (or more!) women in casting reading series.
The cast includes Olivia Oguma, Annie Dow, Emma Ramos, Emma Galvin, Stephanie Hsu, and Forrest Malloy.
Synopsis: Freshman year at college is hard when your roommate is weird, you’re feeling homesick, and a hook-handed serial killer is slashing girls’ throats. But if Lexi can discover what really happened to her high school best friend on that car ride to the movies, everything will be okay. In this existential slasher comedy, Lexi and her friends learn what it means to grow up – and it’s not pretty.
