The plays’ initial broadcasts are followed by live talkbacks with the playwright and artists, premiering Thursday July 15 – Sunday, August 1 (Thursdays & Fridays at 6pm PT, Saturdays & Sundays at 2pm and 6pm PT). Closed captioning will be provided for both the readings and talkbacks. Most will be available for viewing through the month of September.
