The Negro Ensemble Company will ensure Penn Live Arts’ 50th anniversary season is lit

Penn Arts Live and the Negro Ensemble Company are asking playwrights to submit one-act scripts grounded in the Black experience. The open call will run from April 1 to April 30.

In the world premiere of "Vessels," co-shaped and co-produced by Rebecca Mwase and Ron Regin, seven women explored the transcendental possibilities of music during the Middle Passage. Set in an interactive, sculptural environment that invoked those infamous ships, this interdisciplinary, speculative history work explored singing as a survival tool. Presented by the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, March 7, 2019.
