In this edition of Sparking Dialogue Through Drama, AMFA presents Breaking the Box, a live performance that combines documentary theatre with fiction, video footage, and music to examine race, education, and equality in America.
Through a fantastical time-traveling theatrical experience, Breaking the Box revisits historical events beginning with dramatized stories from Little Rock Central High’s history of integration. Breaking the Box dives into complex themes, offering a unique forum for engaging in conversation through the lens of performing arts.
After the show, the dialogue continues with a panel discussion including the show’s creators and a member of AMFA’s Teen Advisory Board.
