It is thoughtfully constructed and inclusive in those selected to participate, their topics, and their approaches.

PLAYWRIGHT:

In recent years the United States has developed into an increasingly pronounced class society. We see it in the growing inequality of income and wealth; we witness it in the expansion of corporate power and influence at a time when blue-collar job status is on the decline; and we view it in the daily depiction of our lives on our television screens.

There is no doubt that the face of art and culture in the United States is changing.
