"The Single Raindrop" Reading & Virtual Reality Experience

Join us on December 3, 2026 for a staged reading of "The Single Raindrop" written by PAD Assistant Professor of Performing Arts Zachariah Ezer and directed by Dominique Rider. The staged reading of the play will be accompanied by an immersive virtual reality experience designed by Lee Kravchenko and will star actors Ron Himes, Amy Loui, Tiffany Tenille, Jack Dryden, Adria Gutiérrez-Concannon, and Raevyn Ferguson. 

About the play: When a senior center in Tell-Fara, New York gets a VR headset to stimulate the minds of its residents, everyone seems to love its most popular app: a virtual recreation of the town, as it was in the 1950s. Everyone, that is, except the center’s oldest and only Black resident, Harry Moore. Harry won’t stop jumping into the virtual lake at the center of town and screaming about mermaids. As the senior center staff tries to calm Harry down, the app's designers are embroiled in a mystery submerged deep in the town’s past.
