Bishop Arts Theatre Center announces the lineup for its annual banned books festival
In February, BATC will present The Stamped Project: Fourth Annual Banned Books Festival. The theater event will feature works by six local playwrights who created six plays that all stemmed from Dr. Ibram X. Kendi’s book Stamped from the Beginning. The plays look at history, race and identity with shows running Feb. 20-March 2.
Presenting original pieces for this year’s festival will be playwrights Straton Rushing, Camika Spencer, Aaron Zilbermann, Calvin Walker, Maryam Baig and Ashley H. White. The author will be in attendance for the March 1 matinee.
