Aspie Works will team with DVC for a two-night staged reading event called This is Happening, set for May 12 and 13 at the Dreamer’s Corner at Village Gate.

This event is written by company founder Justin Rielly, and directed by DVC founder Mario Savastano and playwright Zoe Behncke; Rielly is also serving as executive producer.

The featured plots include a hipster couple preparing for a date, four girls getting to know each other in a train station, a Roman emperor who tests a prototype of the whoopee cushion, two potential lovers who love to talk the language of film noir, a British actor checks into a Brooklyn home to the delight of the homeowner’s daughter, and two high school seniors prepare to move on to graduation – but not before a secret is exposed between them.

Stay tuned for more details on This is Happening, and also for updates on Aspie Works’ plans for the 2017 Rochester Fringe Festival!
