New Guy is welcomed into an anonymous weekly meeting of the minds held in a Brooklyn church basement, a “safe space” for those to discuss and debate their noxious views. Yet, something about New Guy’s presence sets the meeting off course... The lights flicker in and out. The smell of rot permeates the air. The ghosts of the past rise up and demand to be heard. |

The Interstitial is thrilled to present a reading of a new play by Eric Marlin to audiences for the first time. You might know some of Eric’s other works: bad things happen here, How to Mourn the Dead, The True Chronicles of Ben-Zion Palachi, the Rabbi Pirate, and come apart, and What a World! What a World!
