Justice For A New Generation


Fifty Years On

A visionary series laying bare the social justice & diversity issues of today against those of fifty years ago.

Diversity is just another name for Segregation
— Jonathan Kozol


Will & Company, the award-winning creators of the critically acclaimed Faces of America and Portraits of Courage  anthology of plays, presents a cutting edge new series, 50 Years On, a collection of seven diverse, multicultural productions that dissect the social justice issues the new college generation must face.

About the Presentations:
The 65 minute, multi-media, 3-actor performances are intimate reflections of today's America, both accessible and provoking. Post show Q&A with the performers and playwright provides audience members the opportunity for dialogue regarding the issues presented in the play while engaging with their own communities in a discussion of their own challenges.

The theatre ensemble’s work has been presented at more than five hundred colleges, throughout the entire United States, and at more than 30 national conferences, including, NCORE, NACA, APAP, WAA, NODA, the National Conference of Social Justice, the International Conference of Fulbright Scholars, and many others.
