THE DIAGONAL TRILOGY by Vita Patrick Morales is the story of Carly, a man who grew up under unusual circumstances in the shadow of the Pulaski Skyway in the Ironbound District of Newark, New Jersey. The troubles of his childhood go with him his entire life through war and injury as he searches endlessly for peace and absolution.
The Trilogy had staged readings by the Women Playwrights Series at Centenary Stage Company in Hackettstown, New Jersey (2012) and by Women Playwrights Festival of Writers Theatre at the Jersey City Theater Center (2017). It was awarded a Gold Medal from the Italian-American Theatre of Chicago’s Italian-American Playwrights Competition.
The evening includes a post-reading conversation with the author.
