Stars in the House, the daily live stream series created by Playbill correspondent and SiriusXM Broadway host Seth Rudetsky and producer James Wesley, is "College Bound" August 23 at 2 PM with readings of the one-acts 13 Ways to Screw Up Your College Interview by Ian McWethy and Variations on a Theme by Ed Monk.
The plays, which both deal with young people heading to college, feature Simone Clotile, Lex Garcia, Nicole Goldstein, and Donovan Rogers. Jacob Daniel Smith directs.
The readings are the latest in the Plays in the House Jr./Teen Edition series, executive produced by Wesley and Rudetsky. The series of plays for and performed by young people streams Sundays at 2 PM, hosted by Juli Rudetsky Wesley followed by a Q&A with the playwrights. The technical supervisor is Jason Crespin. The reading will only be available for a limited time following the live stream.
