ABOUT
Theatre East, a New York City-based Off-Broadway theatre company, in partnership with the Division of Theatre and the Meadows School at Southern Methodist University in Texas will virtually produce readings of new plays by student theatre artists. The plays will be live-streamed on March 22nd and 23rd with a mix of student and professional actors and stage managers, directed by NYC-based professionals and SMU faculty members. Junior and senior SMU playwrights are writing the short plays based on the prompt, “Change Takes Courage”

To address the events of 2020 with the courage to create positive change in ourselves and our social and political systems. How can we be fearless and bold as we embrace and use lessons in social justice and social activism in order to dismantle systemic exclusion and oppression? How can we demonstrate courage with ourselves and others to create inclusive, positive change?
