Conversations with Playwrights

Playwrights share their research and writing processes in interactive conversation with session participants. Join Christine Benvenuto, playwright and Andrea Cohen-Kiener, dramaturg to discuss Bridges . In the West Bank, Gaza and Israel the traumas of occupation are inescapable. Clinging to hope or overwhelmed by despair, these Israelis and Palestinians are determined to make their stories heard. Written by Christine Benvenuto and partially drawn from verbatim transcripts of compassionate listening sessions led by Rabbi Andrea Cohen-Kiener, Bridges is produced by Theater Initiative of Temple Israel and is part of the LAVA Center 's social justice in the arts and media program. (Tickets for the play reading itself can be reserved at thelavacenter.eventbrite.com .) Sponsored by OASIS (Older Adults Seeking, Inspiring and Serving). RSVP for the Zoom link.
