Louisville, Kentucky's honored Humana Festival of New Plays will feature a special event about grassroots, community-based theater on March 25, 2007. Panelists for the discussion, "Playwrights and Community-based Work," are Sojourn Theatre's Michael Rohd, Cornerstone Theater's Allison Carey, playwright Alice Tuan and and CAN Co-director and theater director Robert H. Leonard of Virginia Tech. Humana's description: "As regional theatres once again push for regional stories, as playwrights in other forms of work join the rich tradition of writers of community-based work, join us for a conversation about different models of community-based work around the country, the odd alchemy of going from a community's experience through a playwright's intelligence back to a community and how the history of the field and its practitioners can enrich theatremaking in many forms."
