PRINCETON – Festival 56 will present a free online reading of “Rabbit Hole,” a Pulitzer Prize-winning comedic play by David Lindsay-Abaire, featuring the cast of Festival 56′s summer 2019 production, at 7:30 p.m. Friday via Zoom.

The play utilizes funny dialogue, characters with large personalities, and poignant moments of connection to focus on how one family learns to support each other through life’s challenges. As this family engages with magical thinking, pregnancy, anger, unexpected humor, therapy, and unanswerable questions, they ultimately attempt to make sense of the “rabbit hole” that produces increasingly difficult and unpredictable situations.

Registration is required at festival56.com. Because of copyright restrictions, the reading will not be recorded.
