BPAC, in collaboration with Oldcastle Theatre Company, Bennington College and Bennington Community Theatre, are participating in a 'rolling premiere' of seven short plays celebrating diversity. We are proud to present Days of Re-Creation—A Virtual Play, by Masi Asare, AriDy Nox, Erlina Ortiz, SEVAN, Nandita Shenoy, BD Wong, and Lauren Yee. Based loosely on the Book of Genesis, and originally developed by Live & In Color, Devanand Janki, Artistic Director. Throughout the month of September, theaters from around the country will premiere their own versions of these seven 10-minute plays. BPAC's production will premiere on Sept. 25, 2020 at 7 pm for our audiences in Bennington and across the country in a free YouTube stream and will be available for viewing until 7 pm on Sept. 28, 2020. The plays were written specifically for reading/performance and recording on Zoom. The cast and crew are a combination of local talent and talent from across the U.S.
