The Joy of Theatre

“The Joy of Theatre” by Germaine Shames – a new play reading Synopsis: Four thespians, longtime friends, test the bounds of artistic expression under the watchful eye of an autocratic regime. When they stage a controversial play, the consequences exceed their worst nightmare. This is a darkly comedic sociopolitical fable about the fragility of creative freedom and what one seemingly powerless band of misfits willingly risks in its service. Playwright Shames shares, “I wrote this play because democracy needs theatre as much as theatre needs democracy.” This project is partially funded by the City of Tempe – Community Arts Grant
