"The Submission" at the Center for Fine Art Photography

The Submission:

"...grabs the audience and doesn't let go..."
-Hollywood Reporter

by Jeff Talbott
 playing October 9 through October 24 @8 p.m. at the Center for Fine Art Photography 400 N. College Ave.

The Submission is unabashed and unapologetic in the way it asks really tough questions. Questions about the assumptions we make, questions about our own prejudices and the way they color our perceptions.

In an email to Artistic Director Denise Freestone, author Jeff Talbot explained, "I wrote THE SUBMISSION with a couple of small, quiet hopes:  (a) to highlight our increasingly complicated relationship with the words we use when we talk to each other (and maybe about each other) and (b) to start a conversation in the audience about how we might try to get a little better at it.  It's a conversation we desperately need to keep having."

The Submission contains adult language

Backstage Magazine called The Submission "Fearless, whip-smart, and hyper-articulate. . ."
Remember that conversation you're not supposed to have at dinner? We're having it in this unabashed and unapologetic comedy. So that his play might stand a chance at one of America's most prestigious theatre festivals, young, gay, white playwright Danny hires the young, straight, black actress Emilie to pose as the author of his play about an African American family trying to get out of the projects. The results are both catastrophic and humorous as this sensational new play exposes the underbelly of prejudice in modern America.
