Photo Coverage: Dramatists Legal Defense Fund Celebrates Freedom to Read at BANNED TOGETHER

The Dramatists Legal Defense Fund ("DLDF") just presented "Banned Together: A Censorship Cabaret" as a part of Banned Books Week (September 25-October 1st), the annual celebration of the freedom to read.

"Banned Together: A Censorship Cabaret" was a celebration of songs and scenes from shows that have been censored or challenged on America's stages, created to raise awareness around issues of censorship and free expression in the Theater. The performances featured selections from "Cabaret", "Chicago", "Almost, Maine", "Rent" and "Angels in America," among other notable works, with contextual commentary by DLDF president John Weidman.

The Dramatists Legal Defense Fund is a non-profit organization created by the Dramatists Guildto advocate for free expression in the dramatic arts and a vibrant public domain for all, and to educate the public about the industry standards surrounding theatrical production and about the protections afforded dramatists under copyright law.
