Paperwork Films, based in Louisville, is presenting the first public reading of Crow Maiden, written and directed by Roy Taylor and produced in collaboration with Broadway actor and producer Julia Estrada (Hamilton).

Crow Maiden tells the magical Southern Gothic story of 13-year-old Anna. Haunted by her mother's death and suspicious of her father's involvement, she must confront corrupt adults with an unusual crow as witness and guide.

The reading will feature live voice performances accompanied by projected images including character designs, storyboards, backgrounds, and sketches.

Featured actors include Bonita Elery, Caisey Cole, Lance G. Newman II, Julia Estrada, Devin McCarthy, Marshall Kaelin, and additional cast to be announced.

This event serves as a salon-style gathering for the creative team and community. The performance will be followed by a moderated conversation with the artists and audience.
