Themes of race, religion and family explored in MainStage Productions. Two plays plus a sneak peek at an upcoming work unveiled in Festival of New Work. ASU Herberger School of Theatre and Film premieres three plays in upcoming weeks as part of its annual Festival of New Work. Designed to highlight promising new plays from ASU graduate student playwrights and the national artistic community, this year's events explore themes of race, religion and ties that bind families together. The performances include: Black Sheep Gospel by Katie May, directed by Bill Partlan November 16, 20, 29 and December 1, 7:30pm The play explores the memory and perceptions of three sisters who reunite when their stepfather is about to die. Each sister -- a B-movie actress who left home as a teen, a lesbian-scientist fighting for her view of the world, and the youngest who adopted the religious philosophy of their stepfather - approaches the life and death of the patriarch from her own unique point of view. Ultimately, however, the women must confront their pasts and their own relationships to move forward into the future. Jonny May's Soul Kitchen by Wind Woods.

At the same time her young nephew, freshly radicalized at college, chooses to fight the Powers That Be head on, with dire consequences for all.
