The State Has Approved These Plays
"I live in the United States, and lately I have felt like the rights our ancestors fought for are being abandoned by those who were elected to act in our best interest. In demoralizing times I turn to art, like many of us do. I made this list of plays that feel like harbingers of what might come to pass if the political elite continues to sell their constituents to the wealthiest corporations. They remind us that we should not relax in the face of tyranny. These plays are rally cries in the battle for our rights and autonomy." —playwright Mackenzie Raine Kirkman
