Staged Reading of Christopher Shinn's On The Mountain

Sat, Jun 6, 11:30 PM

From New York City Play Reading Group

4.9

Come join us for Middle Sibling Production’s Spring 2026 staged reading of ‘On The Mountain' by Christopher Shinn! Tickets can be bought at the link [here](https://bit.ly/OnTheMountainMSP). You will need to purchase your ticket at the link before you RSVP, as RSVPing here will not reserve you a seat. Please note that, unlike our normal readings, this play will be presented by professional actors, and attendees will be in the audience. The performance will be held at The Pete in The The Flea at 20 Thomas St. I will put what I am wearing on the day of the event in the comments so you can find us if you are running late. We hope you enjoy this staged reading! Synopsis: A former rock-and-roll wild child, haunted by the suicide of a Seattle rock legend, struggles with the rebellion of her own iPod-obsessed teenage daughter. When rumors of the rock star's final, lost song bring a charming young man with questionable motives into the picture, an intriguing mystery begins to unfold.
