Constitution Center is a stage for timely theater: Living News
You know a play is timely when the director consults newspapers, TV, radio, and the Internet constantly to see if the script needs updating.
Indeed, the Living News production at the National Constitution Center contains scenes on gay marriage, immigration rights, and gun laws that are, as they say, ripped from the headlines.
Living News, which begins its third year Monday, is an ever-changing museum exhibit designed with eighth- to 12th-grade school groups in mind; its $14 ticket price includes pre- and post-production curriculum materials.
The 25-minute play, followed by a half-hour discussion, is written by a team of theater professionals (including Barrymore Award-nominated playwright Larry Loebell), and is aimed at sparking conversation about ordinary individuals and their relationship to the U.S. Constitution.
