Beyond The Heavens World Premiere!

Join Reading Theater Project in a world-premiere reading of “Beyond the Heavens” by Joey Vasil! This reading is presented in partnership with Maslow Family Graduate Program in Creative Writing at Wilkes University, where Joey is a student.

Sunday, June 2, 3pm at GoggleWorks’ Boscov Theatre (201 Washington St., Reading, PA 19601)

About the play: Goski and Hassica live in a world where mortals coexist with immortals, witches and goddesses. Leaving the warmth of their community behind, they set out in search of a long-lost friend. Can they overcome the inner and outer challenges of their journey, armed with just their wits and a little magick? How far will they go? Are they prepared to go beyond the heavens to find her?

He earned his BA in Writing at Cedar Crest College in Allentown, PA in 2015 and his MA in Creative Writing—Playwriting also at Wilkes University this year.

Joey would like to thank his mentor, Juanita Rockwell, for her compassion and guidance throughout the writing of Beyond the Heavens, and his dog, Socrates, for always being a supportive companion.
