Reading of Speech & Debate

In partnership with Sun Valley Playwright’s Residency and Boise State University, BCT hosts a reading of an early play by SVPR’s 25/26 Resident Playwright, Tony Award Winner, and two-time Pulitzer Prize Finalist Stephen Karam– one that put him on the map as a major voice in the American theater. 

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.
