Come hear a cast of marvelous actors read the latest draft of a new play in progress. "CAN'T STOP" follows a group of TV and film artists and a young wandering unhoused poet in an assisted living home. The play explores the complex inner lives of characters who thrive, flirt, tease, take drugs, battle, fall in love, and have sex with each other, all with the goal of continuing to live no matter what.
