Description
Inspiration & Influence: Enjoy four weeks of virtual theatrical experiences of "The Work of Adrienne Kennedy: Inspiration & Influence" produced by the Round House Theatre from the comfort of your home. Your full festival pass will allow you to view the four plays written by Adrienne Kennedy that shine a light on four deeply personal stories from Kennedy's astonishing body of work.
Hailed as "American theatre's greatest and least compromising experimentalist" (New York Times), Adrienne Kennedy is one of the most prolific and widely studied living playwrights. Since bursting onto the scene in 1964 with Funnyhouse of a Negro, Kennedy's enthralling lyrical dramas have influenced generations of storytellers, from Suzan Lori-Parks to Robert O'Hara, Shonda Rhimes to Jeremy O. Harris. Despite her outsized influence, three Obie Awards, and induction into the Theater Hall of Fame, Adrienne Kennedy is not a household name. This festival is a celebration of why she should be.
