Donald Loftus, Monique Hebert, and Alex Goldberg all have written very different short plays, each with different tones and genres, and coming from different backgrounds and generational perspectives. What all three of these playwrights have in common is that they wrote their plays in the hopes of raising mental health awareness, hence why they are all featured in the November 2020 edition of the Talking It Out virtual play festival.
For this week's special edition of Indie Art Today, Anthony spoke with them about how their personal experiences informed their plays, their thoughts on the responsibility of artists to promote mental health wellness, both the similarities and differences in the subject matter they explore, and more!
