General Admission

Join us for Banking on Rio,&nbsp;a dramatic play reading by Carolyn Kay Brancato, presented by Friends of Christ Church Conservancy.&nbsp; Set on Wall Street and in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, Banking on Rio follows Lizzy, an ambitious, well-meaning investment banker-in-training who struggles to bring progress to a favela in Rio but is thwarted at every turn. Will her dogged determination win out -- and at what personal and professional price? &nbsp;All the deals and the financings in the script are true -- based on the publicly available writings of a former chief economist at the World Bank. &nbsp;This reading will feature professional actors. Proceeds support the artists and our mission to preserve historic Christ Church and to present cultural and community programs. &nbsp;A reception to follow.
