GALVANIZE: Fwd: Now Streaming: Silence is Violence: The Future of the Field!

Hello All,

Please check out Young Playwrights' Theater (YPT)'s just-premiered web series: Silence is Violence: The Future of the Field. YPT partnered with Howard University's Department of Theater Arts to create this project, and three brilliant HU students wrote and star in the series. Here's more info:


The Future of the Field
Now Streaming!
The wait is over! All three episodes of this insightful story of three young Black artists in theater are now available to watch on YPT's YouTube channel! 

In the premiere, rising star playwright Jaucqir, promising actor Ayanna, and provocative director Autumn begin a week's worth of rehearsal for a workshop reading of Jaucqir's new play. An accidental reply-all message sends the team spiraling. 
Watch Episode One, "We Meet Again" now!

We'd like to thank the brilliant creators of this piece: Autumn Angelettie, Ayanna Fowler, and Jaucqir LaFond for devising, writing, and performing such a powerful story with an important message for American theater. And a special thanks goes to our production team: Farah Lawal Harris, Keta Newborn, Kevin Lee Alexander, and Anthony Amos for exploring a new medium of YPT storytelling.
