"Lyin Ass" Coming to Price Center via Unique Midnight Reading 9/1.

In cooperation with the 21st Annual Black and Latino Playwrights Celebration (BLPC), the Price Center is proud to announce a reading of “Lyin’ Ass,” a play by Texas State Distinguished Alumnus, Artist-in-Residence, and Artistic Director of BLPC, Eugene Lee. Not since the first BLPC event in 2002 has a play by this award-winning actor, director and playwright been presented during the Celebration. In “Lyin’ Ass,” lonely characters inhabit this new play about certain conditions of insanity that force us to live with illusions for the sake of mental balance. The lies we live in and denials we nurture ourselves with.

"We're thrilled to welcome Euguene and other members of the Black and Latino Playwrights celebration, said Clay DeStefano. "Live theatre is an integral component of the Pirce Center and actually it served as the imotus for its creation," he added.

The Price Center, an historic San Marcos landmark that now serves as a community center, art gallery and venue, and resale store, will host the reading on Friday, September 1, 2023. The doors will open at 11:30 p.m. and the reading will begin at midnight. Seating is limited and reservations are required. A suggested donation of $10 will be donated to the BLPC.
