Experience the transformative power of storytelling at Bishop Arts Theatre Center’s Banned Books Festival, an electrifying evening of theatre inspired by Ijeoma Oluo’s groundbreaking book So You Want to Talk About Race.
This year’s festival features six bold, original short plays penned by visionary local playwrights who dive fearlessly into the complexities of race, identity, and social justice. Each piece illuminates a different facet of Oluo’s work—sometimes with humor, sometimes with raw vulnerability, always with striking honesty.
More than a night at the theatre, the Banned Books Festival is a communal experience designed to spark dialogue, challenge assumptions, and ignite meaningful reflection. Audiences leave not just moved, but changed.
