A staged reading of "Bernini in Ecstasy", a new play in two acts by Clay Ballard. (Director: Kate Caffrey. Producer: Phil Micali. Historical consultant: Franco Mormando.)

BERNINI IN ECSTASY is a portrait of one of Italy's greatest artists: the sculptor, architect, painter and playwright Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598 — 1680).
