These playwrights wrote with hope for tomorrow, for the future, for their children.
One theme that pulled all of these plays together was the female characters’ incredible strength: what they stood for, what they stood up against is really powerful. These women were not going to be solely defined by the color or shade of their skin or by their current circumstance.
Their dreams were big and the possibilities were endless.
And I thought, “How empowering is that?”
