Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati has had to be scrappy over its 35-year history, long before Over-the-Rhine was a go-to destination, surviving and thriving thanks to the creative leadership of Producing Artistic Director D. Lynn Meyers. Like theaters everywhere, ETC screeched to a halt in March 2020 when the pandemic shut down the world, especially venues where audiences gathered. They’d presented one performance of Dominique Morisseau’s
Pipeline when Ohio was suddenly locked down.
Playwright Rachel Lynettâs âLetters to Kamalaâ is about firsts. It is, tangentially, about our 49th Vice President, Kamala D. Harris. It is directly about three âfirstâ women who put down the path that led Harris to the vice presidency. Itâs about the weight, the sacrifices, the lessons of being first.
âLetters to Kamalaâ also is the first of WAM Theatreâs 2021 First Takes Play Readings series; the first presentation of WAMâs 2021 season â period.
The digital reading begins streaming Sunday through the WAM Theatre website â wamtheatre.com â and will be available for viewing anytime between Sunday and March 21. Tickets are priced at $15, $25 or $50.
