San Diego Repertory Theater (REP) is gearing up for its Second Annual Black Voices Reading Series where four playwrights share diverse perspectives on the Black experience.
The series seeks out work that serves a diverse range of Black stories and playwrights, creating opportunities for discussion around the issues questioned in the plays.Darren Canady's 'Reparations'"My dad was hilarious because what he used to say about my mom's side of the family, he'd say, 'Linda can't nobody in your family just tell a story? A story that would normally take two minutes for other people takes 20 years for your family,'" Canaday said.
"'Food Day' is a play in five courses" Gobel said."You have breakfast, lunch, appetizers, dinner, and a snack with the family as they talk about a big decision that is going to affect them all — that is — moving from the Midwest to San Francisco so that the mother can work with maximum security inmates and teach them how to cook.
"I'm kind of fascinated to watch what happens with my words and to know that there's hundreds of different ways to say the same thing. I tend to track where the humor works for myself and where actors get tongue tied on things," Gobel said."Actors in this reading are always giving you information, even when they are not explicitly thinking that they are, lines that they stumble over or lines where they perk up," Cannady said.
"Because that's how we keep theater alive, and that's how we make sure that live performance is speaking to our moment, speaking to audiences now and putting them in a place where they can speak across time and space, which is important," Canaday stated.
