Plays by People
This annual event will feature a reading of plays and poems written by an Arts Access playwright and performed by professional actors from Premiere Stages at Kean University. The virtual presentation will also showcase pieces of visual art by Arts Access creators.
The Arts Access contributors will be an integral part of the process, offering direct feedback to the actors on how to best present their work, work with the director to create sound cues, staging, and visual elements, and will gain important critique and experience as performers, writers, and visual artists.
