Identity Issues of the 21st Century. It will feature commissioned original works by playwrights Robert Askins, Joe Byers, Stuart Harris, and Jorshinelle Taleon-Sonza, produced by DCT Associate Artistic, Linda Faigao-Hall, and curated by EPF Resident Dramaturg, Maxine Kern. The festival opens on August 11th, 2006 at Theatre Row's Clurman Theatre and will run through August 26th. For tickets, contact Ticket Central at 212-279-4200 or www.ticketcentral.com.
All four plays were commissioned by DCT as part of its annual mission to develop plays that revolve around one diversity issue of cultural significance. Linda Faigao-Hall's WALKING IRON, a play about a construction worker who outs himself in the worksite, will conclude the festival in 2007.
