PGC is thrilled to share that a staged reading of member Kelley Jo Burke's play, 'Rigby', will be taking place on Thursday, June 20th at 7:00pm at the Artesian on 13th in Regina, presented in partnership with OnCue Performance Hub & Listen to Dis’ Community Arts Organization! 
'Rigby' is Kelley Jo Burke’s City of Regina Writing Award-winning play of life and death and what’s in-between. This reading in particular will showcase the development collaboration between Listen to Dis’ Community Arts Organization and Burke, as they work on a play by a disabled artist with the support of disabled artists. An optional audience Q & A will follow the reading.
-----
Once upon a time a little girl was supposed to die. And didn’t. And was invited to join the ranks of those who give the dying their story before they pass on. Her name becomes Rigby, and her after-life career is going to go seriously sideways.
-----
Those familiar with Burke’s work know that 'Rigby' will be funny, dark, irreverent, and stylistically challenging. This will be the first time this work in development is shared with an audience and the gift of your time to this project’s development is deeply appreciated.

Be sure to mark your calendars for this highly anticipated event!
With thanks to the Saskatchewan Writers Guild, the City of Regina, Listen to Dis' and the Saskatchewan Foundation for the Arts.
