Information on the play:

SALVATION ROAD, a new play that was featured at the ICSA conference in Philadelphia last summer, will be performed at the Walnut Street Theatre Independence Studio on 3 in September as part of the Philly Fringe Festival, a citywide festival of new theatre, dance, and music.

SALVATION ROAD is the story of a cynical high school student whose philosophy of detachment is shattered when his sister becomes involved in a new religious movement and cuts off her family as a "toxic threat" to her faith.

The play is written by D.W. Gregory, author of 'Radium Girls,' which has seen more than 100 productions worldwide and is a popular title among high school and university theatre groups.

ICSA member Charles Breinig is co-producing and has reserved the Sunday Sept. 6, 2 p.m. show for an ICSA benefit. All proceeds from that performance will go to ICSA.
