THE TELEPHONE

Before leaving on a business trip, Ben visits his girlfriend, Lucy.  He wants to have an important conversation with her, but finds himself blocked by a constant stream of interruptions - Lucy’s friends calling her on THE TELEPHONE to say hi, chat, and gossip.  Ben is running short on time, and he needs to talk to Lucy.  How can he get her attention before it’s too late?

Black lives matter. 

As an organization, ROK is striving to know better and do better. 

As artists, we hear, see, and lift up our siblings of color. 

And as human beings, we sing out that we must reimagine not only what our art form can be, but much more; what our society must be, locally, nationally, and globally.

This project was made possible in part by support from The Puffin Foundation West.
Activities are made possible in part by the Brown County Community Arts Foundation, and the Indiana Arts Commission, which receives support from the State of Indiana and the National Endowment for the Arts.
