The staged reading is directed by Charlie Pepiton and performed by members of the Square Top Theatre Laboratory Ensemble: Lani Call, Steve Lloyd, Matt Slater, and Elizabeth Spindler.

The event is a partnership between the Robert K. and Ann J. Powers Chair of the Humanities, Gonzaga University Dept. of Theatre & Dance and Gonzaga University Department of Modern Languages and Literature, and the Generalitat Valenciana Ministry of Education, Culture, and Universities in Spain.
