In partnership with the Howard University Department of Theatre Arts, Young Playwrights’ Theater (YPT) presents a devised three-part web series about the experiences of Black theater artists contending with racism, tokenism, and ethics in American theater.

This web series is part of YPT’s Silence is Violence performance series, YPT’s most immediate and direct route of addressing social justice issues affecting Washington, DC area youth through performance and community dialogue.

Tickets are listed as free, but we are asking for patrons to make a donation amount of their choosing to Young Playwrights’ Theater so we may continue our mission of inspiring young people to realize the power of their voices! 

YPT has re-distributed this series as part of The From-Home Fest! The From-Home Fest celebrates the theatrics that blossomed at the start of the pandemic … shows that bravely & playfully expand the definition of “theatre,” welcome artists & audiences who may be unable to physically go to a theater, & surprise us with an experience of real human connection.

Written and performed by Autumn Angelettie, Ayanna Fowler, and Jaucqir LaFond
Directed by Farah Lawal Harris
