Silverthorne Theater Company presents the first in its 2024 Theater Thursdays Play Reading Series:
Tight Pants by Betel Arnold
directed by Pedro Eiras
Thursday, February 29, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. at Holyoke Media, 1 Court Plaza, Holyoke, MA.
Tight Pants is a fierce and funny play set in the Dominican Republic. It’s a story inspired by the playwright’s mother’s journey from the DR to America. In the play, we follow the lives of two women, Kamila and Griselda, who are friends and neighbors in the barrio. These amigas struggle to maintain their homes in a patriarchal society, but their bond proves powerful enough to change the course of their lives and affect the attitudes they hold about themselves and the men that come in and out of their lives.
The reading is offered free (donations welcome!) and open to the public. Registration is strongly encouraged due to limited seating and may be made at

Following the reading, audience members are invited to engage in a facilitated conversation with the playwright to help support the continuing development of the script.
This reading is supported in part by a grant from the Holyoke Cultural Council and the Springfield Arts Council, local agencies which are supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency. Directions and parking information can be found at https://holyokemedia.org/getting-here/
