American Theater Company's 10 x 10 Festival

On Monday, March 9th at 7:30pm, American Theater Company will present their annual 10 x 10 Play Festival. I'm honored to join fellow playwrights Jeff Augustin, Kristiana Colón, Matthew-Lee Erlbach, Bonnie Metzgar, Dominique Morisseau, Lucas Neff, A. Rey Pamatmat, Akin Salawu, and Aurin Squire in writing short plays that offer perspectives and visions of Ferguson. 

American Theater Company's mission is to inspire and challenge our community by exploring stories that ask the question, "What does it mean to be an American?"  The recent events in Ferguson, Missouri and the conversations surrounding those events genuinely challenge our understanding of what it is to be an American. 

"In order to create the fullest possible picture of the American experience of Ferguson, we want to incorporate playwrights' immediate reactions to Ferguson as well as their thoughts on the subject with more distance from the crisis, said Sam Weiner (Literary Management Apprentice).  "To that end, each playwright was tasked with writing two pieces, one completed in mid-October and a second to be completed in mid-February.  By presenting these pieces together, we hope to both refresh the community's memory of Ferguson and to offer insight into how the passage of time alters our perceptions of social and political crises in the United States."
