University of Memphis Department of Theatre and Dance and Montani StageLab present: American Medea: A Staged Reading.

This staged reading is free admission and the culmination of a week-long workshop.

When a media circus descends on the rural cow town of Corinth, TX, to cover a celebrity wedding, a community must confront its own expectations and prejudices about motherhood, identity, and gender roles in a post-modern world. American Medea, by Holly L. Derr, is an unflinching collage of story and culture, a new American myth based on our own contemporary Medeas.
