AuditoriumBe the first to hear this play come to life and provide feedback on the story and the growing debate over books being banned across our country.
The debate over banned books takes center stage. A young Ohio teacher is put on trial by her school for allowing her students to use banned books, but did she do the right thing? "Trial by Fire," a new dramatic play written by award-winning local playwright Eric Mansfield, examines the debate over what books should and shouldn’t be allowed in our schools via a public reading featuring the acting talents of Akron’s Millennial Theatre Project.
