2021-2022 Theatre Events

Fall '21

NEXUS Staged Reading Series

Featuring 3 BIPOC playwrights in works TBD
Directed by Johnny Jones, Scholar/Artist In-Residence for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
September 25, November 6, and December 4 @7:30pm  in Porter Theatre

From the liminal space of returning to the theatre amid renewed hope and faith in a “new normal,” the NEXUS Staged Reading Series features multiple modern and contemporary playwrights and plays that engage diversity, equity, and inclusion. These BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) narratives connect and examine themes of race and its multiple intersections of class, gender, sex, ethnicity, religion, and other social constructions in an effort to produce lasting and needed cultural conversations throughout American society. Event registration recommended.

Audience advisory: Contains adult themes and language.
