Bainbridge Performing Arts and our partners at Bainbridge Island Theater Lab (BitLab) bring you a staged reading of The Messenger, a new play in progress by Dinah Manoff and directed by Rachel Noll James.

A deeply moving and unapologetic piece of theatre, The Messenger is as much a political powder keg as it is an intimate portrait of two women trying to make sense of the world from two different ends of the conversational divide. Equally timely and empathetic, the play challenges audiences to consider whether real dialogue and shared understanding can bring us together.
