The Happiest Song Plays Last at Main Street Theatre

The final play in Hudes soldiers trilogy, this reading follows productions of the other plays in the series by Stages (WATER BY THE SPOONFUL) and Main Street (ELLIOT, A SOLDIERS FUGUE), which both take place in February. In a barrio kitchen in North Philly, a professor moonlights as the local soup kitchen queen, offering rice and beans to any hungry neighbor. Halfway around the world, her cousin relives his military trauma on a Hollywood film set. With the Egyptian revolution booming in the distance, and local unrest erupting in Philly, these two cousins sing a defiant song of protest. But will Philly, or Egypt, listen?
