“This is a Safe Space!”, A New One-Act Play by Peter Fields

This is a Safe Space!, a new, one-act play by Peter Fields, premiered on November 6 and 7, 2017 At Kent State University’s EZ Black Box Theatre.

Both nights the house was nearly filled to capacity with theatre-goers, and the play was well received.  Before the preview night performance, the production team engaged in one final, full run dress rehearsal of the play which was recorded for presentation on the web.   The production features actors Grace Hunt and Marcello Valletta, and was directed by Libby Jackson.  The story: Two parents from separate families meet in the principal’s office to discuss an altercation between their sons. While they await the principal’s arrival, the parents begin a conversation which reveals the true nature of their sons’ embroilment and threatens to destroy the very foundation of their core beliefs.
