Directed by Theatre New West Artistic Director Joe Watts, this special benefit reading in honor of World AIDS Day benefits AIDS Arms, Inc.

The Normal Heart dramatizes the early days of the AIDS epidemic. It is a passionate indictment of government, media, and the public for refusing to deal with a national plague and breaks through the conspiracy of silence with a shout of stunning impact.

There will be a talk back following the performance with the director, cast and special guests Dr. Gene Voskuhl and Dr. John T. Carlo, AIDS Arms, Inc.
