This summer CTTC is giving focus to the origin of theatre productions by beginning at the beginning with the playwright. The work of the playwright is central to the world of theatre. They are the originator, interpreter, and voice of individual communities and institutions. Playwrights have the power to write stories that reflect and shape our culture. Through their writing, they introduce audiences to new ideas, perspectives, and experiences, challenge societal norms, and encourage critical thinking.For two weekends CTTC will shine a spotlight on two different playwrights, presenting a directed and rehearsed reading of their play. This unique event offers audiences a rare opportunity to witness fresh, original stories from voices in our own community.
Yo! This Is What It Is, written by Hilda Willis is the true story of Terence, a gifted Black athlete and Army veteran whose life spirals into addiction, homelessness, and despair after a series of traumatic events. This is a tribute to all those battling unseen wounds.
Leave No, by Kittridge “Kitty” Janvrin, a clever comedy that asks the question, what happens when you can only destroy the thing you love? Characters, Jane and Avery find themselves experiencing similar ailments that remove them from the things they love most but bring them together in an unlikely fashion.
