Bismarck State College is one of more than 40 locations across the nation (and one of two in North Dakota) that will present a staged reading of "Standing on Ceremony," a collection of short plays about gay marriage, on Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. at the Sidney J. Lee Auditorium on campus.
The event is presented in collaboration with the Tectonic Theatre Project of New York and is free and open to the public.
The production will incorporate a live-streamed video introduction from the Tectonic Theatre Project in New York as well as a question and answer session via Twitter with the playwrights to close the event.
The short plays that make up "Standing on Ceremony" were written by nine different writers including Pulitzer Prize-winner Doug Wright; writer Jose Rivera, nominated for an Oscar for his screenplay for the film "The Motorcycle Diaries;" and Moises Kaufman who directed the film adaptation of "The Laramie Project."
At BSC, the plays will be read by a combination of students and faculty.
Same-sex unions and marriages are illegal in North Dakota.
