Drake University Department of Theatre Arts presents PROLOG, the 2023 Neighborhood Playwright Series selection on Sept. 15 and Sept. 16 at 7:30 p.m. in the Turner Jazz Center. This is a staged reading of the Karen and Alex Schaeffer original piece telling a story of how AI (Artificial Intelligence) might present itself to us in the not-too-distant future. Following each performance, join the playwrights for a talkback discussing the creative journey of their new piece.
