Center Stage Theater & the UCSB Initiative For New & Reimagined Work are proud to announce our participation in the Nationwide Reading #ENOUGH: Plays to End Gun Violence. This is the culmination of a national short play competition for high school students. On December 14 - the 8-year remembrance of the shootings at Sandy Hook - the 7 winning plays will be presented online by Center Stage Theater/New & Reimagined along with 48 other theatres and schools across the country and abroad. A panel of nationally-recognized dramatists - Lauren Gunderson, Academy Award winner Tarell Alvin McCraney, Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Schenkkan, Tony Award winner David Henry Hwang, and Karen Zacarías - selected the plays out of 184 submissions from twenty-three states and three countries in #ENOUGH’s call for teens to write 10-minute plays that confront the issue of gun violence. The plays tackle gun violence through different lenses, from the threat of and anxiety over school shootings, police shooting, community violence, race, and gun culture in American history. Our production will feature 49 Santa Barbara area artists including numerous UCSB and SBCC students, graduates and faculty. The digital premiere will be available at centerstagetheater.org and will include a post-show conversation.
