Playwrights Workshop Readings: Forgottonia
by Eli Campbell '25
In 1987, the people of Forgottonia, Illinois, are on the edge of poverty. In a last-ditch effort to save their town, they enter the Prison Sweepstakes, which would win them a government-funded prison (and all the jobs that come with it). But competing for a prison drags out more than they were bargaining for.
Please be advised that "Forgottonia" contains depictions of classism, racism, and onstage drug use.
This reading is free and open to all.
