WELLS BROWN’S THE ESCAPE; OR, A LEAP TO FREEDOM AND AUGUST
WILSON’S GEM OF THE OCEAN
WED,
NOV 18 | 2:00 PM | $25 | ZOOM
"The
ART of Social Justice" professional development for teachers
series continues in collaboration with the T. Thomas Fortune Cultural
Center. In this class, taught by Two River Theater Literary Manager,
Taylor Barfield, we will use an analysis of these two plays to
illustrate how educators can use theater as a tool to discuss slavery
in the United States, the fight for freedom, “the afterlives of
slavery,” and how history is passed down through
generations.

WEEK CLASS ON STRUCTURE WITH PLAYWRIGHT TONY MENESES
3-WEEK
CLASS RUNS DEC 1, 8, 15 | 6:00 PM | ZOOM
$125
FOR FULL CLASS SERIES
Whether
we’re writing Naturalism or something more out there, how we
structure our plays is a place for a lot of imagination. This class
will challenge how we render an audience’s experience even if we do
write traditional beginnings, middles, and ends. The goal is to
innovate and surprise the container that we place our storytelling
in.
Tony
Meneses' plays include Guadalupe in the Guest Room, The Women
of Padilla, twenty50 and The Hombres.
