REND: A Staged Reading, by Kenneth Reams

Join GW faculty members Dr. Anna Jayne Kimmel and Sidney Monroe Williams, MFA, for a staged reading of REND, a new play authored by Kenneth Reams. Stitching together testimonies from death row, REND amplifes the interconnected stakes of mental health, boyhood, and masculinity. The play continues a larger project of Reams' to interrogate the ethics, impact, and legacy of U.S. capital punishment through artistic and aesthetic intervention. Coordinated in affinity with the World Day Against the Death Penalty in October, REND will be followed with a discussion among a panel of artists, activists, and academics, including representation from Voices Unbarred.

Sponsores include the Honey W. Nashman Center for Civic Engagement and Public Service, Corcoran School of Arts & Design, Program in Theatre and Dance, University Seminar Series Fund amd Voices Unbarred.
