SUMMARY:August Wilson Monologue Competition Regional Finals
DESCRIPTION:RESERVE YOUR FREE TICKET \nKenny Leon’s True Colors Theatre Company is proud to present the Annual August Wilson Monologue Competition for Greater Metro Atlanta area high school students\, grades 9-12. This competition\, coordinated by True Colors Theatre’s Director of Education\, Nikki Toombs\, focuses on the plays of August Wilson’s American Century Cycle\, which chronicle the African American experience through the 20th century. Each play is set in a different decade and is filled with soaring\, lyrical monologues that take the song\, laughter\, pain\, and rich content of African American life and places it in the mouths of the greatest and varied ensemble of characters written since Shakespeare. \nThe inspiration for the competition was sparked by two of August Wilson’s closest living collaborators\, Kenny Leon and Todd Kreidler. Kenny Leon\, the Co-Founder and Artistic Director of Kenny Leon’s True Colors Theatre Company\, worked closely with Wilson; directing most of the Century Cycle plays on Broadway and at regional theatres. Todd Kreidler\, former Associate Artistic Director for Kenny Leon’s True Colors Theatre Company\, was Dramaturge for Wilson’s last play and Director of his one-man show. As a result\, both have intimate knowledge of August Wilson as an artist and as a person. According to Kreidler\, “The goal of the competition is to help garner partnerships with communities\, schools\, and theaters across the United States\, and to create educational materials about August Wilson that allow students\, of all races\, to connect these important theatre works with educational curricula like history\, social studies\, and literature.” \nEach student will perform a 1-3 minute monologue of his or her choosing from one of the ten plays in August Wilson’s Century Cycle. The selection can be a written speech or dialogue taken from one character within a scene but should include a point-of-entry into the character and a personal connection to the selected material. Contestants will be judged by a panel of Atlanta theatre professionals on the basis of preparedness\, understanding of the text\, emotional connection to the material\, and commitment to the performance. Past judges have included V103’s Frank Ski and Wanda Smith\, WABE’s Lois Reitzes\, actor Jasmine Guy\, CNN anchor Holly Firfer and NBA All-star Joe Barry Caroll. True Colors also offers free acting workshops and a compendium for teachers in order to prepare participants for the competition.

SUMMARY:FREE Play Reading: “Wrong River” by Josh Wilder
DESCRIPTION:FREE RSVP \nDescription\n\n\n\nTrue Colors Theatre Company is proud to introduce a series of staged readings with themes that parallel those in our season productions. We will examine our world through the eyes of characters while creating intimate occasions to engage with patrons. \nIn advance of our production of Dominique Morisseau’s Skeleton Crew\, we will produce a staged reading of Josh Wilder’s Wrong River. Join us as we explore how the decisions of governments and corporations can negatively affect the masses and create moments of crisis. \nAs the water crisis in Flint\, Michigan begins to make national headlines\, a young couple struggling to make ends meet scrambles to fight for a better future for their daughter–– even if it means losing everything they have. \nThe Flint Water Crisis sparked national outrage and a grassroots movement that encouraged people from across the globe to send bottles of clean drinking water to Flint’s residents. As we celebrate a season of Moments that make the Movement\, we are excited to pair our production of Skeleton Crew with Wrong River\, two plays that humanize our country’s recent struggles. \nEvent Schedule: \n7:30 PM | Pointing out Parallels – An Introduction of Themes \n7:45 PM | Wrong River Staged Reading\, directed by Danye Brown \n9:15 PM | Post-Show Discussion

SUMMARY:Coping in Corporate Cultures: Community Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Navigating through hierarchal structures\, bursting through glass ceilings\, and dodging micro-aggressions can sometimes make going to work feel like training for the Olympics. This conversation will focus on ways to thrive in these environments\, and to have open conversations without fear. \nThese conversations are the springboard for the themes and issues presented in the plays we produce. Hosted by Associate Artistic Director\, Jamil Jude\, the conversations bring subject matter experts and the community together for 90 minutes of sharing and learning.
