Venue Information and Accessibility:

The MLK FAME Center is a retired elementary school built between 1916-1957. The parking lot is currently unstriped - the most accessible spots are near the fence bordering Republican St. The front door does not have an automated opener - there will be an usher in the main lobby to assist with opening the door on the day of show. There is a ramp leading from the lobby to the main level of the building. An accessible restroom is located to the left of the ramp in the lobby. We will not have captioning available, but please let us know if it might be useful to have a copy of the script to support hearing needs.

What are the 2026 Plays in Progress?

A series of staged readings, bringing audiences together with emerging local playwrights to share new plays, build connections and engage in conversation.

Show run-times vary, but if the performance is longer than 90 minutes there will be one 10 minute intermission. There will be a post-show discussion after each staged reading, following a short break.
