FREE Preview of Third Person at City Heights Performance Annex

Thursday, August 14th at 6:00 PM

Join us for a special preview performance of Third Person, a compelling new play by acclaimed playwright Catherine Filloux. Admission is free and open to the public.

Told entirely through letters, emails, and dictated messages, Third Person is an epistolary play that centers on Octavio, a passionate high school student; Diane, his mother, an English teacher and poet; and Robert, a CEO of a defense conglomerate and a parent at Octavio’s school. What begins as a personal inquiry transforms into a deep exploration of silence, complicity, and the demand for accountability.

This innovative production model reflects Filloux’s vision for the play to be adaptable—from venues serving underserved communities to major theatrical institutions—for one or multiple performances.

This preview is co-produced and directed by Maya Flores and co-produced by Naomi Schneider, who also serves as the dramaturg. 

Starring Chase Boertje, Cristyn Chandler, and Jason Heil.

We invite audiences to witness this timely, thought-provoking piece and engage with the questions it raises about power, privilege, and responsibility in today's world.
