Five College Multicultural Theater presents WORD! 2009

WORD!, an annual presentation of student-written scripts dealing with issues of race and diversity, will be presented on Wednesday, April 29, 2009 at 8 p.m. at Smith College's Hallie Flanagan Studio Theater in the Mendenhall Center for the Performing Arts. The event is free and open to the public.

The productions, written by Five College students, take on themes reflecting issues of race and diversity using playwright August Wilson's idea that theater can raise consciousness and politicize communities of color. The scripts were chosen by the Multicultural Theater Committee, which then offered artistic and dramaturgical support for students to prepare their work for the stage.

The featured scripts:
