American Theater: Writing for Change

WBEZ brings you fact-based news and information. Sign up for our newsletters to stay up to date on the stories that matter.

Young Jean Lee, Kristoffer Diaz, Tarrell Alvin McCraney and Tanya Saracho discuss their perspectives as members of a new generation of playrights - all are under 30 - who write about identity and politics and whose works make us aware of clichés, distortions, and absurdities in our current America. Director Jonathan Wilson moderates the discussion.

Recorded Tuesday, March 23, 2010 at Museum of Contemporary Art.
