Meet Playwright Stephen Karam!
In partnership with Sun Valley Playwright’s Residency and Boise State University, BCT will host a reading of an early play by SVPR’s 25/26 Resident Playwright, Tony Award Winner, and two-time Pulitzer Prize Finalist Stephen Karam– a play that established him as a major voice in the American theatre. This special reading features Boise State University Department of Theatre, Film & Creative Writing students, alumni & faculty, AND will be attended by the playwright himself, Stephen Karam!
Speech and Debate by Stephen Karam tells the story of three teenagers in Salem, Oregon. When one of them discovers the truth about a sex scandal in their town… secrets become currency, blogs are belted, and the trio’s connection grows deeper in this dark comedy with music.

25|26 Season
October 1, 2025 - May 9, 2026
“Where in the world am I?” is the name of a beloved lesson taught by elementary school teachers to help students pinpoint how they fit into their class, their city, their world, by identifying address locations at different scales: street, town, state, country, continent, planet.
BCT’s 25|26 Season of plays is an iteration of this exploration. These thought provoking stories of the human experience span locations (insular communities, remote towns, battlefields, the world stage), span time periods (today, the middle of the 20th Century, World War I), span divides (two sides of a vaccination debate, a stretch of no man’s land, the space between real and imaginary, the cultural distance from America to Iran). These stories are all examinations of that same question we were asked as kids.
Where in the world are we?
