The GunPlay(s) Theatre Series
At The Station Theatre,
Urbana Illinois,
2016-2017
The Celebration Company at the Station Theater of Urbana Illinois is proud to announce the Gun Play(s) Series that will feature ten 10-minute plays about gun violence in America throughout its 45th season. (To find out more about The Station Theatre: http://stationtheatre.com/)
Four years ago Nicole Anderson Cobb, PhD put out a call for playwrights to respond to gun violence in the artistic form of 10-minute plays. The response was overwhelming causing her to enlist colleagues from across the country to read, summarize and evaluate over 200 submissions. We are making a home for her efforts here.
Per the schedule below, each Monday evening there will be dynamic staged readings of two 10-minute plays followed by a discussion with various community panelists. We hope you will "Like" our page and join the conversation.
