WORDS MATTER - “RENEWAL”
Four world premiere plays working from the word "Renewal" written by four groundbreaking American playwrights: Kia Corthron, Franky D. Gonzalez, Gwydion Suilebhan, and Melisa Tien. Each play will be performed in a concert reading, and in a unique twist, will feature one formerly incarcerated actor. Each playwright created their piece in response to the prompt word "Renewal", which was inspired by the work of Rehabilitation Through the Arts, a remarkable non-profit helping people in prison develop critical life skills through the arts, modeling an approach to the justice system based on human dignity rather than punishment.

Professor Charles Watts, a modern day disciple of Dr. Martin Luther King and recent Nobel Peace Prize recipient, must confront surprise “guest” Terrence Barlow, his long-lost best friend from prep school and Harvard – now homeless - when he shows up at a dinner party, and makes everyone question the validity of non-violence in the face of modern day symbols of white supremacy, especially the statue of Teddy Roosevelt standing in front of the American Museum of Natural History.

Ideal Growing Conditions is a romantic comedy about persistence and plants. It's a love story where everything goes wrong from the start, a survival story about a plant that blooms despite adversity, and a death-defying tale of stab wounds and migraines and broken bones.

The Art of Love explores the life, loves and poetry of the Roman poet Ovid. The inspiration for his poetry was found in the glittering bustle of Rome itself, and his poetry struck a chord with the younger, more liberated set. Under Emperor Augustus laws were introduced that aimed at strengthening family values. Such laws led to a conflict between the artist and the state, leading to Ovid’s exile to a lonely outpost on the Black Sea. Translation of Ovid’s poetry from Latin into English was by John Dryden, named England’s first poet laureate in 1668.
