BOCA RATON — Fort Lauderdale-based Dan Clancy’s play about a gay couple’s decision to initiate California’s Proposition 8 legal challenge will have a workshop production as part of Lynn University and the Jan McArt Theater’s series of New Play Readings.

Directed by Stuart Meltzer, “Proposition 8” follows Will and Ned, a Los Angeles gay couple and their decision to become plaintiffs in the historic court case, as well as their own journey to define the word “commitment.” The play will challenge your understanding of marriage and commitment, at a time before the U.S. Supreme Court rules on this groundbreaking case. At Lynn University’s Wold Performing Arts Center (3601 N. Military Trail, Boca Raton).
