Fort Lauderdale Florida,(today’s date):  The Playgroup, LLC will present Broken Angels, an original drama by local playwright Todd Caster based on the actual trial of Carrie Buck, in Charlottesville Virginia in 1924. Carrie is a pregnant teen with a dim future. A new law may force her to be sterilized against her will.  Broken Angels follows Carrie through the twists and turns of her day in court as she faces down those who have conspired to undo her.  The production will be a staged reading.  The audience can expect a fully staged play but actors may hold scripts.

 

Todd Caster, well-known local playwright, will also play the lead role of Carrie’s defender, Irving  Whitehead.  Carrie will be played by Terra Tuhan and the opposing council, Aubrey Strode will be played by Brian Reeves. 

 

The play is directed by Joyce Sweeney
