LA Writers Center is partnering with HowlRound TV
to present
a live reading of
"The Voices of Afghanistan"
designed to amplify Afghan stories
We believe these stories need to be heard and we are now, more than ever,
prepared to listen.
We feel strongly that this project is necessary and inevitable due to the situation in Afghanistan. Our writers are putting together a project referred to as "verbatim theatre", which is a type of documented theatre in which plays are constructed from the precise words spoken by the interviewees.
Our writers are interviewing Afghan Citizens, Afghan-American citizens, Afghan war veterans and artists about the situation in Afghanistan and how it has effected their lives and the lives of their loved ones.
We consider this a call to action, and we are eager to share these voices with you.
Friday, October 29th at 11AM PST/2PM EST
