Director, actor and producer Ryan Hope Travis spoke about his new play Drafters, a parable at yesterday’s Vera House Report to the Community event.  He called his creative approach “Applied theater.”

We congratulate Ryan Travis, the theater professional who continues to stage and curate great plays around the tenor of our times. His latest offering is “Drafters, a parable,” which uses local actors to create awareness about domestic violence from a perspective of prevention.

“Drafters…” has two more shows this week.  Bob Brophy and former councilor Charles Anderson performed a brief excerpt during yesterday’s Vera House event.

Here’s an interview we did with Travis last year.
