Description
Summary:Presented by Pulitzer Prize-winner, Paula Vogel, Bard at the Gate offers a simple glance at plays that are ground-breaking: plays that were too ambitious, too quirky and too smart to be contained. Strong scripts. Raw talent. New audiences. New Bards. The plays in the series have been chosen by Ms. Vogel from among the hundreds and hundreds of scripts she has read and/or mentored over four decades: works that have been overlooked and never produced, along with plays that deserve a wider audience. Every 28 hours a Black man is killed by police; so, how does a middle-class family teach their teenage son to stay alive? A drama about living while Black in America.
