Each Salon Reading Series event features a reading of a play followed by a moderated discussion of the play’s themes and how these themes apply to the community. The theme for 2024-25 is “Hold On.” This theme will explore concepts of holding on and letting go.

The Salon Reading Series is free and open to the public, with two readings each week:

• the first on Sunday afternoon at 2pm in the Turbine Flats Resonator Gallery at 2124 Y St
• the second Wednesday evening at 6:30pm  in the Eastmont Living’s theater space at 6315 O St in Lincoln.

Wasabia
By Wendy Herlich
Vivian, staring down the barrel of dementia, and Carla, desperate to shine as a young hospice volunteer, strike up an unlikely friendship, which is thrown into question when Vivian enlists Carla’s help in getting life-ending drugs from a hapless musician. The drugs themselves are characters in this dark comedy, which alternates between naturalism and the surreal as it explores one woman’s experience with medically assisted dying.
