Lots has happened though. But sticking with the present, I came across this inspiring article today about a youth theatre in Chicago. Wishing I had the guts/resources/inspiration to make something like this happen. This is the type of theater I'd like to do with youth. How do I start?
I also took my high school students to see "black odyssey" the Denver Center for Performing Arts to kick off my semester-long project tying into Greek tragedy and adaptations to relevant themes and events. Here's a little snippet of an interview with the playwright, Marcus Gardley, who wrote a really brilliant and inspiring piece based off of Homer's Odyssey intertwined with an African American soldier returning home from the war in Afghanistan, suffering from PTSD.
