Three estranged brothers are reunited in Arkansas by the passing of their father. A day at the races thrusts their history into full focus, opening the door to reconciliation if they don’t kill each other first.

Samuel Brett Williams’ plays include “The Woodpecker” (Cherry Lane Mentor Project) and “Arkadelphia” (published in “Best American Short Plays ’04-’05″). Previous Orphanage readings include “Fraternity,” “Revelation” (a New Play Network commission), and “The Revival,” to be produced by Project Y Theatre at Theatre Row in Manhattan, Fall 2010.

The Orphanage is the only new play reading series in Downtown New Brunswick, providing a home for local theater artists and a safe environment for playwrights to develop their work.
