LUYE, Bellingham Theatre Guild’s reading series, kicks off 7th season with award-winning drama How the Light Gets In October 5 at 2:00 pm

LEND US YOUR EARS, the reading series at the Bellingham Theatre Guild, kicks off its sixth season with How the Light Gets In, the Steinberg Award-winning drama about hurt people healing hurt people by Oregon playwright E. M. Lewis. Recognized as the best regional theatre play in 2019 by the ATCA, How the Light Gets In performs on October 5, 2024, at 2:00 pm on the Bellingham Theatre Guild stage.

The Pay-What-You-Will performance, directed by Shawn Fuller, follows four disparate characters—a travel writer who doesn’t travel, a Japanese architect who can’t build a Tea House, a tattoo artist who resists his talent, and a runaway girl living under a tree in a Japanese garden—as they fall apart and build each other back together. Told with great humanity, How the Light Gets In will be performed by talented local actors; the play contains adult language and situations.

LEND US YOUR EARS (with the mission: Good Plays Read Well) produces matinee readings with local actors in front of the curtains, with general admission seating and the audience choosing what it wants to pay. No reservations are necessary, and any questions can be directed to LUYE Artistic Director, Sean Walbeck (sean@gigglewax.com, 360-647-9242).

How the Light Gets In is presented in arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Smauel French, Inc., www.concordtheatricals.com.
