Justice Shorts is a one-act play festival featuring thought-provoking new narratives centered

marginalized voices," says Emily Kohring, Executive Director of Bread and Roses Missouri.
"Social Justice Shorts provides a platform for playwrights to address pressing societal issues and
inspire meaningful dialogue within our community."
“C2C’s mission is to stir the conscience of our community and facilitate social change. The
chosen plays facilitate a broad spectrum of viewpoints and foster discussions on significant
societal matters that are in line with the company's mission. Considering the present social and
political climate, this festival presents an opportunity for the audience to actively engage and
effect change.” says Fannie Lebby, “It serves as a rallying cry for individuals to unite, advocate
for their interests, and work towards the betterment of their community!!! To quote Augusto
Boal: ‘The theater itself is not revolutionary: it is a rehearsal for the revolution.’ ASHAE!
ASHAE!!!”
