This is an event that should be attended by high school students and their parents. "Whether we like it or not, we still have major divides in this country. Most of us still go to bed at night in cities, communities and neighborhoods that are segregated by race, religion, ethnicity and/or class. I wanted to write a play that encourages open, honest conversation that leads to greater understanding and empathy to combat today's prevailing trends," states Playwright Todd Logan. "Defamation" is a riveting courtroom drama that explores the highly charged issues of race, religion, gender, class and the law with a twist: Your audience is the jury. The premise is a civil suit: A Chicago South Side African-American woman sues a Jewish North Shore real estate developer for defamation.
The location is the Holiday Inn in Boxborough starting at 3:00 PM
The trial runs 70 minutes. The deliberation is 15 minutes. Post-show discussion with playwright and cast is 30 minutes.
Cost is $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for students.
