I am proud to announce the world premiere virtual reading of my play "Runtime Error" (semi-finalist for 2021 Eugene O'Neill National Playwrights Conference) with Transformation Theatre. 

Tal is trying to get a competitive internship when he approaches his college advisor and mentor for an introduction to the company. The famous Professor Carson is all too willing to make the introduction but for a terrible price. While hiding his experiences from everyone in his life, Tal tries to figure out what he could have done differently. A play inspired by the #MeToo movement and the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, this play explores similar themes for men and how they cope or don’t.

The performance of the show will be on Tuesday, May 11 at 7pm EST and will include actors from around the country. There will be a talkback after the live show and then the show will be available streaming afterwards through May 15th on Transformation Theatre's website. Please join us for this important play. https://transformationtheatre.ticketspice.com/runtime-error-by-elana-gartner-a-virtual-reading
