BLACK FEMALE PLAYWRIGHTS ON RACE AND AMERICA WITH CRYSTAL DICKINSON AND BRANDON J. DIRDEN

Two River artistic family favorites Crystal Dickinson and Brandon J. Dirden take you inside the actor’s process on analyzing text and seeking deeper meaning in theatrical works, as both an artist and as a human being.

In this class, Crystal and Brandon will present scenes from works by Black female playwrights and participate in a discussion led by moderator Kamilah Bush (former TRT Artistic Assistant and current Literary Manager at Portland Center Stage) to explore the ways in which these artists addressed American issues of race and gender.
