Ninety minutes into a marathon reading of former special counsel Robert Mueller’s “Report on the Investigation Into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election,” actor Nate Corddry elicited one of the morning’s many indignant audience gasps.
The event, “The Mueller Report Read-A-Thon,” preceded another such reading at West L.A.’s Odyssey Theatre. That event will take place from 1 to 9 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, and it also features notable names from theater, film, TV, politics and civic life, including Fisher and Molina as well as Brenda Strong , Odyssey founding member Norbert Weisser, Michael Nouri , Ray Abruzzo and Gregg Henry .
In late June a celebrity cast including John Lithgow, Annette Bening, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Sigourney Weaver gathered at New York’s Riverside Church to read Pulitzer Prize-winning, “The Investigation: A Search for Truth in Ten Acts,” which is based on the Mueller r eport. More than a million people tuned in to a livestream of that show.
Mueller report read-a-thons have become acts of civil disobedience, a way for artists to register their discontent by leveraging their most valuable currency: celebrity. “Long before you and I were born, long before there was a Donald Trump, or even an America, people got their news from actors who traveled from town to town,” he said. “We were the first news reporters, heralds of good and bad things to come.”
I frickin LOVE this

Are these free readings? Or are they looking to make a buck or two?
