A MOMENT OF SILENCE
Partnership Project Support
Following the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent uprising, and in converstion with our community, Playwrights’ Center felt it was critical to amplify artist responses to the moment. In partnership with local actor, director, and playwright Shá Cage and Twin Cities–based multidisciplinary art-making organization Tru Ruts, the Center helped launch A Moment of Silence: 50+ Black MN Voices in a Historical Moment of Transformation (BlackMNVoices.com).
