White Noise
White Noise, Tom Block's first play, will have a reading at the Kennedy Center on Sunday, September 5, as part of the "Page to Stage Festival."  The reading will take place in the South Atrium Foyer at 7 pm, free and open to the public.  http://www.kennedy-center.org/calendar/index.cfm?fuseaction=showEvent&event=XKPTS

White Noise by Tom Block follows Tim, an African American painter, as he struggles with inner demons, an increasingly bizarre exterior reality, and a scantily clad Simone Weil, a historical figure that metastasizes as a figment of his own imagination. Having abandoned true faith, Tim grasps for "faith in faith" and in the end finds dubious consolation, alone in a bathroom.

This play will be produced in February, 2011 at the Burke Theater on 7th St. and Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington D.C., by Stroyka Theater.  http://www.stroykatheater.com/
