from Moonlight Audio Theatre

"8" A PLAY ABOUT THE BATTLE FOR MARRIAGE EQUALITY (RATED PG-13) A co-production of 63audio and LEAP Audio. This is the story of two gay couples and their fight to challenge the constitutionality of California's Proposition 8, which went into effect in the first decade of the 21st century, predating "Obergefell". Prop. 8 essentially made it illegal for same-sex couples to marry. Fashioned from actual dialog, TV political ads and court transcripts, "8" is a moving, gripping drama that you must share with your family and friends.  Written by the author of the hit TV miniseries, "When We Rise", Dustin Lance Black.  Featured in the cast were: Austin Beach (of Audioblivious Prod.) as Charles Cooper Bob Caro as Evan Wolfson Shannon Grace as Maggie Gallagher Christian Ferris as David Blankenhorn MJ Cogburn as Dr Cott Jeremy Hennessy (of Audioblivious Prod.) as Dr. Gregory Herek Michael Cogburn as Elliot Perry Mason Cogburn as Spencer Perry John Washington as Dr. Tam Keane Lutz as Ryan Kendall Kristy Glick as Sandy Stier Melody Gaines as Kris Perry Kyle Bauer as Dr. Ilan Meyer Maurice Curran as Jeff Zarillo Omar Lopez as Paul Katami Lisa Marie Ayala as the Court Clerk Victoria Fancki as the Journalist And special Guest stars: Pete Lutz as Judge Vaughn Walker Jack Ward (of Electric Vicuna Prod.) as David Boies Timm Gillick as Dr. Gary Segura Mark Bruzee as Theodore Olson and Nick Wommack as the Narrator
