The Soap Myth

Seven-time Emmy Award-winner Ed Asner (Pixar’s UP, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Lou Grant) and three-time Emmy and Tony Award-nominee Kate Burton (Scandal, Grey’s Anatomy) will star in the play reading along with Ned Eisenberg and Blair Baker.

Played out against the backdrop of deadline reporting and journalistic integrity, the critically acclaimed The Soap Myth by Jeff Cohen questions who has the right to write history—those people who have lived it and remember, those who study and protect it, or those who would seek to distort its very existence? And finally, what is all our responsibility once we know the truth?
