Seat of the Pants Presents THE CULTURE WE DESERVE, by Jonathon Morgan
by Craig Joseph 24 Mar '26

24 Mar '26

Seat of the Pants is proud to host the third installment of our Salon Series with a public reading of Jonathon Morgan's new play, THE CULTURE WE DESERVE, directed by Geoff Short and produced by Jeannine Gaskin, and starring Shani Ferry, Patrick Lafferty, and Brian Pedaci. In this new script, three friends in Bay Village discover that someone has pooped in the pool. This should be an easily remedied problem; instead, the situation devolves into an afternoon of accusations, justifications, and the quiet art of avoiding responsibility - plus a few poop jokes for good measure. Join us for this comedy about middle-aged liberals performing their politics and realizing that they may be living in The Culture We Deserve. The reading will be offered twice on *Saturday, April 18th *at *1:30 PM in Akron* (*salon3A.eventbrite.com <http://salon3A.eventbrite.com>) *or *7:30 PM in Cleveland* (*salon3B.eventbrite.com <http://salon3B.eventbrite.com>)* For more details or to purchase tickets for $10, please check out the URLs listed above. Each reading will be followed by a brief talkback in which we'll be asking audience members a series of curated questions to help guide the playwright's next round of edits and revisions. We hope to see you there!
