Red Bull Theater Live Reading Tonight: 'Tis Pity She’s a Whore


By Karen Nowosad

originally published: 04/20/2020


Tonight (April 20), the acclaimed Red Bull Theater kicks off special programming by launching a FREE LIVESTREAM presentation. The presentation is an online reading of John Ford’s classic play ‘Tis Pity She’s a Whore. The event features the complete cast of the Red Bull’s 2015 Off-Broadway production of this play originally directed by Jesse Berger, Founding Artistic Director.

This informal free event is designed to continue to serve Red Bull Theater’s mission to revitalize the classics for today’s audience during the uncertain time brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. The livestream will be available tonight, Monday, April 20th at 7:30pm, at Red Bull Theater’s website at www.redbulltheater.comlive, on Facebook, and at VIMEO.  

This unrehearsed, cold reading features the entire original 2015 RBT company who performed the ‘Tis Pity She’s a Whore: Matthew Amendt, Kelley Curran, Franchelle Stewart Dorn, Clifton Duncan, Ryan Farley, Ryan Garbayo, Philip Goodwin, Christopher Innvar, Amelia Pedlow, Everett Quinton, Rocco Sisto, Derek Smith, Auden Thornton, Tramell Tillmann, and Marc Vietor. These actors will “beam in” from wherever they are social distancing themselves during the crisis. 

The press release for this event included the following statement:

Red Bull Theater wishes to express its gratitude to the Performers’ Unions: ACTORS’ EQUITY ASSOCIATION, AMERICAN GUILD OF MUSICAL ARTISTS, AMERICAN GUILD OF VARIETY ARTISTS, and SAG-AFTRA through Theatre Authority, Inc. for their cooperation in permitting the Artists to appear on these programs.

I’ve had the pleasure of attending Red Bull Theater productions and always found the events well produced. They have a flair for selecting plays that are stimulating to watch and absorb. For more information visit www.redbulltheater.com

About Red Bull Theater

Red Bull Theater, hailed as “the city’s gutsiest classical theater” by Time Out New York, brings rarely seen classic plays to dynamic new life for contemporary audiences, uniting a respect for tradition with a modern sensibility. Named for the rowdy Jacobean playhouse that illegally performed plays in England during the years of Puritan rule, Red Bull Theater is New York City’s home for dynamic performances of great plays that stand the test of time. With the Jacobean plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries as its cornerstone, the company also produces new works that are in conversation with the classics.


Let's Go to the Theater helps people learn more about about live theater and develop appreciation for this art form. Karen M. Nowosad is the founder of the site. The enjoyment Karen gets from going to the theater is something she wants to share with others.
