About this Event

We're excited to welcome our friends at for a reading of "Ban the Bans," a new one act play that dramatizes the American refusal to accept state forbidden expression and thought.

Our featured readers for the evening will be:

Rachel DeWoskin

Frances de Pontes Peebles

Gabrielle Lyon

Zayd Dohrn

This event will include a brief (20-minute) reading followed by an audience Q&A. Join us!

Note To Producers: This one-act play is easily mounted as a staged reading, four PLAYERS with scripts at music stands or some such. The venue can be a theater, a library, a school room, a bar, a living room, a place of worship – any place folks can gather. The reading should be followed by audience discussion, taking up the critical question of rescuing our democracy. The play is open-source, entirely free of charge. Our only request is that producers let us know of their reading, date, time and type of venue. We will, in response, supply templates for a poster and press release. The play was written for WDA by Rachel DeWoskin and James Carroll. Contact us via email at: [email protected].
