Staged Reading
February 29, 2020, 7pm
Acclaimed director Tea Alagić presents a staged reading of Kennedy's classic play The Owl Answers, which premiered at the White Barn Theatre in Westport, Connecticut in 1965. Set in a shifting landscape composed of a New York City subway, the prison at the Tower of London, a Harlem hotel room, and an altar at Saint Peter's Basilica, a young black girl's desperate attempt to establish her white heritage is spurned by a chorus of Europeans, embodied in the towering figures of Chaucer, Shakespeare, William the Conqueror, and Anne Boleyn.
