Protest Plays
Wednesday, January 24, 2018 2:00-3:30 Temple Theatre This is a ticked event. In conjunction with the LittleBlackDressInc.Org, KCACTF Region 5 invited student playwrights to write short plays or monologues (10 minutes or less) about issues concerning their community. This can be issues pertaining specifically to each playwright’s city, or a national/global issue seen through each playwright’s community/city lens (as it pertains to/manifests in their city). The key is to get local with the material, and to share insight into each community’s current issues of concern. The three selected plays are assigned a faculty director, a student assistant director, and a student dramaturg who will work in conjunction with the playwright to cast, rehearse and present a reading at festival with a response by festival special guests and a discussion about how we can take the conversation back to home campuses. Plays were selected by the Region 7 Respondent Team, Lead by Ben Gonzales, NPP Region 7 Chair. We thank them for their service.
