SUMMARY:Say Gay Plays: With About Face Theatre and Silk Road Cultural Center
DESCRIPTION:About Face and Silk Road Cultural Center are thrilled to announce four Chicago-based playwrights who received commissions to develop short plays for the Say Gay Plays collection. Hannah Li Epstein (AFT) Emilio Williams (AFT)\, Esho Rasho (Silk Road)\, and Lani Montreal (Silk Road). \nJamil Khoury\, Silk Road Cultural Center’s Founding Executive Artistic Director\, stated\, “In an era of state censorship\, word policing\, and criminalized identities\, Say Gay Plays is a perfect antidote. A bold\, unapologetic short plays initiative developed by NYC’s Voyage Theater that champions Queer joy\, collective resilience\, and personal triumph. It is an honor and privilege to partner with About Face Theatre and Northeastern Illinois University to bring to life stories that offer hope and healing in turbulent times. Florida’s Governor and state legislature be damned. We at Silk Road Cultural Center most definitely say gay!” \nSay Gay Plays is an extension of an initiative of New York City’s Voyage Theater Company and part of Goodman Theatre’s Free Acts of Theatre sponsored by DCASE.
