Its first public reading was a 20 minute excerpt at Cloud City in Brooklyn directed by Marissa Shadburn as part of the BarnArts Festival of New Works. After an intimate reading in Boston, the piece was accepted into the FailSafe Festival for a 45min staged reading for 3 nights in August of 2017 directed by Marissa Shadburn. The Dirty Blondes hosted two additional table readings in December, 2017 and May 2017 and was presented at Under St. Marks for a 4-night performance workshop in September 2018.
