Yale Drama Prize-winning author Rachel Lynett explains their theater company's 'laugh first' ethos, what it means to write 'historical heresy' and why all their plays are love stories

Rachel Lynett Kat Wilson If you’ve heard University of Arkansas-educated playwright Rachel Lynett’s name this year, it might be because their play “Apologies to Lorraine Hansberry (You Too August Wilson)” is the winner of the 2021 Yale Drama Prize, selected this year by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel. The premise: a fictional world of “a post-second Civil War” in which an all-Black utopian state called Bronx Bay is established in order to protect “Blackness,” and which introduces questions about whether the newly arrived Yael, who is Dominican, can stay. “With a metatheatrical playfulness and a direct inclusion of actors and audience alike,” Vogel said of the work, Lynett’s play “exposes the many layers to the notion of race in order to awaken us.”

Relative Theatrics Announces New Virtual Play After Changes Due To Pandemic

Credit Anne Mason Relative Theatrics is back on schedule with its eighth season. It s just announced a new play called The Care and Feeding of Small Animals, which will be streamed virtually while performed live by its cast. Relative Theatrics, founded in 2013 by Laramie native Anne Mason, has brought live theatre performances to the area. There were originally multiple plays set to be produced for Relative Theatrics eighth season of programming. But after Mason realized that the pandemic was not going away anytime soon, she made changes. So I got on to the New Play Exchange, which is this phenomenal library of scripts by playwrights that elect to have their work there, and you can either see samples of their scripts or just access the entire play, she said. It s a really wonderful tool for producers, especially for producers that want to put new work on stage, which is something that is prominent with relative theatrics.
