Adapted by Upstate New York journalist Ken Tingley from his memoir, this gripping drama follows the rise and fall of a close-knit team of small-town journalists. From a daring exposé on the opioid epidemic to a Pulitzer Prize, “The Last American Newspaper” reveals the true story of a community newsroom's struggle against a national tide of economic and political forces that will redefine America's access to information.

The reading, directed by Marcus Kyd , stars Sebastian Arcelus (“Wicked,” “Jersey Boys,” “Into the Woods”) as Tingley alongside Nick Baroudi (“Junk”), Teisha Duncan (“The Lion King” UK Tour), David Girard, Beth Pietrangelo, William Oliver Watkins , and Gabra Zackman . The reading will be immediately followed by a panel discussion featuring Editor-in-Chief of New York Focus Akash Mehta, playwright Ken Tingley, and Producing Artistic Director of theREP Miriam Weisfeld. Seating is limited. To RSVP, please email mweisfeld@attherep.org .
