Peter Fields’ Play, “This is a Safe Space!”, Premieres in November

Peter Anthony Fields’ latest one-act stage play entitled This is a Safe Space!  will premiere on November 6, 2017 and play through November 7, 2017 as part of the Erdmann-Zucchero Black Box Series at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio.  Curtain time for both nights is 7 pm.

The play, which is directed by Libby Jackson, centers on what happens when 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 that leads to a place which reveals the true nature of their sons’ embroilment and threatens to destroy the very foundation of their core beliefs.

Jackson is currently assembling her production team and will begin casting soon.

Also playing on the two nights with This is a Safe Space! is Tekla Gaughan’s Abortive.
