Matthew Freeman’s “Silver Spring,” Winner of the 2021 Kesselring Prize

The National Arts Club will present the premiere reading of Matthew Freeman’s Silver Spring, winner of the 2021 Kesselring Prize.

In this autobiographical work, the playwright sifts through his family’s fractured response to the unexpected death of his elder brother. Touching on subjects of adoption and disability, this heartbreakingly truthful and funny play considers how we reckon with the irreconcilable, and what makes a family come together – or fall apart.

The reading will feature guest artists Jordan Gelber (Broadway & TV: Mr. Saturday Night, Avenue Q, Elementary), Natalie Gold (Rava Roy in Netflix hit series Succession), Jon Norman Schneider (currently: Catch As Catch Can at Playwrights Horizons), Rebecca Nelson (Hulu series The Girl From Plainville), Dan Daily, Desi Waters, Ian Gould, and Michael Cullen. The reading is directed by Michael Parva, Artistic Director of The Directors Company.
