About this event

The world premiere of “BARS”, a new drama by Pravin Wilkins will livestream on Saturday, October 17th at 8pm EST/ 7pm CST/ 5pm PT and Sunday October 18th at 2pm EST/ 1pm CST/ 11 am PT and will be available for a limited time through October 31st. This production will be directed by Heather Harvey. Sound design and composition will be provided by M. Florian Staab. Part of the proceeds will go to benefit theKEEPERS (https://www.followthekeepers.com).

Pravin Wilkins’ new play, “BARS”, takes place in Oklahoma City, a light-blue island in the middle of a deep-red state, a group of activists have been arrested for protesting the construction of a new oil pipeline. The harshest sentence of all has been reserved for a young, recently resettled refugee named Robi. This incendiary case triggers the surprise--and covert--homecoming of Dae, a recently-deported icon in the spoken word & underground hip-hop community. As prosecutors--led by District Attorney Alex Long--attempt to enforce the newly minted law behind the arrests, Dae launches an undercover campaign to earn Robi’s freedom.
