In other SDCF news, its staged reading series continues Nov. 23 with Eye of the Beholder, written and directed by Henry Fonte. The play tells the based-on-truth story of a happily married man who takes what he considers innocent photographs of his six-year-old daughter -- only to be branded a child molester. Dec. 14 brings Lisa Hubertson's Sky Fossils directed by Melanie Southerland, in which the mother of a severely deformed child brings a case against the doctors and insurance agents whose mistakes kept her from getting an abortion. But first she must argue that her child should have never been born.

For information and reservations (free) to any of these readings at the CAP 21 space, 18 West 18 St., 6th floor, call (212) 302-5359.
