Chimera Theatre is presenting a staged reading of King of the Road as the final installment of our 2016/2017 New Play Series. King of the Road is a new Canadian drama by local theatre professional Glen Cairns that explores issues of alcoholism and indigenous people in the life of a man who is trapped in a roadside motel, his relationship, and his life.

With a commitment to the development of new Canadian plays, Chimera Theatre’s New Play Series presents plays-in-progress by new and emerging playwrights. This means an opportunity for playwrights to write, rewrite, experiment and expand their work while providing audiences with a thrilling and intimate night of theatre.  After the staged reading, there will be a talk-back and Q&A session with the playwright, actors and director about the play.

The reading will take place at #40 – Northills Centre Mall, 700 Tranquille Road, Kamloops (on the north-facing side of the mall, between the Dollar Tree and Canadian 2-for-1 Pizza) on April 29th, 2017 at 8:00 pm. Tickets are available at www.chimeratheatre.com/tickets or at the door with a minimum $5 donation.
