On August 15th at 5pm PST, Theatre Without Borders, the Pomona College Department of Theatre, and Very Little Theatre presented an online, informal, Zoom reading of 'This Is A River,' a new ecodrama by Isabelle Rogers and James P. Taylor. Directed by Giovanni Ortega, with dramaturgy by GiGi Buddie, the reading featured Southeast Asian performers living in Los Angeles, Chicago, London, Singapore, Malaysia, and Australia. The play was inspired by EnviroLab Asia’s first clinic trip to Malaysia Borneo and has been supported by EnviroLab Asia. Watch a recording of the reading here: https://youtu.be/U2JNnBy0kY8
