Selected from over a thousand blind submissions, this second volume of The Collective:10 Play Anthology features 12 original short plays that premiered as part of The Collective:10 Play Festival in New York City in October 2014. Also included is one unseen play selected exclusively for publication, PLUS a Q&amp;A with many of the playwrights about their inspirations, the process and these particular plays. The works range from intense drama to hilarious farce, all brimming with truth and action – a provocative and engaging collection of relatable stories. These short plays were workshopped through The Collective, by its ensemble members and associate artists, in direct collaboration with the playwrights. The result is a collection of short plays that represent the spirit of accessibility, inclusion and development that have come to define The Collective. The dialogue starts now...

Based at Shepherd University, in West Virginia, the Contemporary American Theater Festival is nationally and internationally recognized as a home for playwrights and the development and production of new plays. The Festival makes it a priority to celebrate and produce playwrights with strong, distinct voices, with a core value to tell diverse stories.
This anthology of work provides plays that speak to one of the most compelling virtues of artists everywhere – freedom of speech. A necessary volume of women playwrights' work, ranging from a two-time Obie Award-winning author to emerging writers just beginning their careers, it represents a group of women who vary in age, race and sexual orientation and offers an invitation to artistic leaders, scholars and students to embrace gritty, thought-provoking new dramatic work.
Edited by The Festival's Producing Directors Peggy McKowen and Ed Herendeen, this anthology features an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winner Lynn Nottage. Each of the five powerful plays is followed by an informative and discursive playwright interview conducted by Sharon J. Anderson that contextualizes and develops the works within the wider context of the annual festival.
The plays include: Gidion's Knot by Johnna Adams The Niceties by Eleanor Burgess Memoirs of a Forgotten Man by D.W Gregory Dead and Breathing by Chisa Hutchinson 20th Century Blues by Susan Miller

Methuen Drama

At an elite East Coast university, an ambitious young black student and her esteemed white professor meet to discuss a paper the college junior is writing about the American Revolution. They’re both liberal. They’re both women. They’re both brilliant. But very quickly, discussions of grammar and Google turn to race and reputation, and before they know it, they’re in dangerous territory neither of them had foreseen – and facing stunning implications that can’t be undone.
