Following the 2012 death of Trayvon Martin, the trial and eventual acquittal of George Zimmerman, New York-based theatre company The New Black Fest responded by hiring a diverse group of accomplished playwrights to write about themes of race and privilege in America. What resulted are six gorgeous 10-minute plays, some hilarious, some sorrowful: Facing Our Truth: Ten Minute Plays on Treyvon, Race and Privilege. Join us for our second episode of Policy at the Playhouse, as we turn to the state of race in America and the question of the role of theatre in civic discourse.
