Ep 2- ACTivate On Censorship, Honesty, and Sesame Street
In this week’s episode, our hosts go in-depth on censorship and how it applies to theatre. From comparing full shows to their Jr. counterpart, it is clear there is no one way to adapt art for an appropriate audience. “Why do we censor?” and “How far is too far?” are important questions for any generation. Later, we are back with Riley Sudduth, where she talks to Emma Becker, a theatre professional and director, on what it is like growing with censored and uncensored theatre.
