SPECIAL PRES.: "8" A PLAY ABOUT THE BATTLE FOR MARRIAGE EQUALITY

Narada Radio Company Audio Drama

Published on Mar 20th at 10:13pm

RATED PG-13. A CO-PRODUCTION OF 63audio and LEAP AUDIO. This is the story of two gay couples and their fight to challenge the constitutionality of California's Proposition 8, which went into effect in the first decade of the 21st century. Prop. 8 essentially made it illegal for same-sex couples to marry. Fashioned from actual dialog, TV political ads and court transcripts, "8" is a moving, gripping drama that you must share with your family and friends.
