A FONDREN THEATRE WORKSHOP WORLD PREMIERE
Is language too dangerous to mess with? Is it safer when we sing it? This trilogy of short plays (with short songs) looks at the rewards and perils of verbal communication as some Very Important Words become available to early humans, to political and religious humans, and to near-future high-tech humans.
Written by Dr. Steven G. Smith, Millsaps College Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and Religious Studies, and produced by Fondren Theatre Workshop in partnership with the Millsaps College Theatre Department. Directed by John Howell, and featuring performances by Ward Emling, Zane Hartfield, Nora Katz, Raven McGowan, and Harrison Palmerton. Live musical accompaniment by The Assemblers.
Rated PG for limited instances of profanity, and PH for being written by a philosopher.
