Led by Artistic Director Farah Lawal Harris and Production Manager Keta Newborn, Silence is Violence is Young Playwrights’ Theater’s playwriting, performance, and community dialogue series exploring areas of injustice experienced by our city’s young people.
Through a mixture of scripted performances, interviews, poetry readings, and music, Silence is Violence: The Podcast is a four-episode series detailing key moments and performances from Silence is Violence’s 10-year history alongside ten years of the cultural touchstones and current events that inspired each production: racism, police brutality, xenophobia, gentrification, young Black motherhood, and the global COVID-19 pandemic.
