N.Y. Stage and Film Summer Season at Marist: "Menafee" (Play Reading)

New York Stage and Film has been an incubator for emerging and established artists and their work since 1985, and this summer’s festival on Marist University’s scenic riverfront campus features four weeks full of imaginative and insightful plays and musicals. Hundreds of artists trace their developmental roots to New York Stage and Film, including the Tony Award winners "Hamilton" (Lin-Manuel Miranda), "Hadestown" (Anais Mitchell), "The Humans" (Stephen Karam), and "Doubt" (John Patrick Shanley).

"Menafee"

• During an impromptu conversation on reunion weekend, a dining hall employee learns about the contested artifact he’s been unknowingly working beneath. Suddenly, the students he loves and the college he’s dedicated his work life to take a backseat to questions about justice and integrity. Based on a true story, "Menafee" examines the shocking act that changed an institution’s history.

• Note: This performance will be fully bilingual in American Sign Language and spoken English.

• Venue: Symphonic Hall at Marist University, Poughkeepsie

• Performance: July 25, 7 p.m.
