Teen West Project: Year 9 - Impact

 It is officially time to announce that Teen West is soon to get underway!

For those of you who don't know, the Teen West Project is SouthWest StageWorks' signature project.  We collaborate with local theatre company Playwrights West to debut brand new pieces of theatre each year, including pieces that have been nationally published and performed off-Broadway.  It's a powerful theatre experience, and for those of you who were involved with or saw last year's edition, You Cannot Undo This Action, you can speak directly to this powerful work.

This year's edition will take our distance learning situation into account and use this unique situation to create a powerful set of tales based on our experiences in this void.  Impact will be a true collaboration between student artists to create high level work.

Want to know more, how to get involved?  Read more at our blog Teen West Project and join us for a meet and greet with teaching artist Matthew B. Zrebski this Monday, 2/8 at 330pm at this Zoom Link to know more.  

See you there!

A Statement Of Our Principles

In This Time... Words matter.  Anyone who knows me, and has had to endure a long-winded in-person or multi-character typewritten spiel on anything from breakfast that morning, to the minutiae of a Marvel movie, to the justification for an assignment (see below this post), knows that words matter to me greatly, and that it can take me a long time to find the right ones...especially on something as big as the things we are experiencing right now.  And yet...they're failing me in my desire to find what feels like the 'right thing' to say about this moment where the myth of equal rights and protections in our country have been laid bare in a way that has resonated bigger and more intensely than it has in a very long time. Ultimately I'm a small person in a small corner of the country's whitest major city.  I have been, and remain, phenomenally privileged in my life in every way.  I have had little to no practical exposure to bias, to bigotry, to hatred, or to violen...
