Theatre Exile presents ‘Abandon’ by James Ijames

On January 31, Theatre Exile presents a one-night-only virtual reading of Abandon by Philadelphia-based playwright, director, and performer James Ijames through its new play development program, Studio X-hibition. Luella is alone. She is haunted by the ghost of her son. Joshua is alone. He has been kicked out of his house by his brother. One winter night, these two people collide into each other. Luella is looking for redemption, Joshua is looking for family. By the next morning, these two lonely souls are meshed together into an American Family in its truest sense. The virtual reading for Abandon is set for Monday, January 31, 2022, at 8 p.m.
