Wednesday, January 25, 2017, 10:30-2:00, Temple Theatre, Des Moines, IA - Q&A to Follow Faculty Director and student performers prepare this concert reading at festival In celebration of the Centennial of JFK’s birth, the Kennedy Center has commissioned one act plays with the following prompt: -The Play will celebrate the legacy of John F. Kennedy by focusing on the values of COURAGE, FREEDOM, JUSTICE, SERVICE, and GRATITUDE. -The characters in the play will be majority female and have substantial roles for artists of color. -The vast majority of characters can be viably played by college students. Put another way, the play will concern young people grappling with an issue; struggling with something that aligns with the values listed above. -The commissioned play is intended to honor the legacy of John F. Kennedy, but not be biographical or history-based, necessarily.
