This Place/Displaced

This Place/Displaced is a new documentary-esque theatre project giving voice to stories of displacement, gentrification, and housing inequity in Boston. In June 2018, we paired 7 local playwrights with community members from various Boston neighborhoods. The goal: to start a dialogue about space and place that would culminate in the creation of a new theatrical event. Woven together artfully by original compositions from Max Kennedy, This Place/Displaced opens the doors to discussion as our characters invite us into their hearts and homes.
