Usually a reading is an industry-only event in a tiny room in the middle of the day, but Tricia Walsh-Smith had a different idea for her
Addictions, a compilation of three one-act plays (
The Hurdle, Take the High Road and
The Girl in the Red, Short Shorts). For her reading, she recruited stars Trudie Styler, Chris Sarandon, Jackie Hoffman, Jessica Hecht, Martha Plimpton and Peter Bartlett and turned the whole thing into an evening benefit for Caron Treatment Centers (an internationally recognized leader in the treatment of addiction to alcohol and drugs). The reading was held at the Promenade Theatre on April 3 and was followed by a bash at Ruby Foo's. Check out some of the evening's sights in this Photo Op.
