The season of the Ensemble Theater Cincinnati continues with 10-minute connections: JUSTICE

Justice will be served at the Ensemble Theater Cincinnati while the 2019-2020 studio series continues with 10-minute Connections: Justice on February 10th at 7pm. In preparation for the ensemble’s next main stage piece, Dominique Morriseau’s Pipeline, five 10-minute pieces will be presented together with Morriseau’s short play Night Vision as staged readings that revolve around the theme of justice.

Following an open call for submissions from local playwrights, Joe McDonough and the ensemble staff have narrowed the plays down to the five that will be presented on February 10th. Each piece gives a closer look at the importance of justice on both a national and local scale in society today.

“Understanding can only be achieved by listening to the point of view of others,” says D. Lynn Meyers, Producing Artistic Director. “Hopefully we will hear someone else’s point of view of what is valuable to them. I want to expand our perceptions and other people’s beliefs so we can become a little more harmonious society. It’s a lofty goal, but if we can do it 10 minutes at a time, that’s great. “
