On the end of The Interval.
Reprieve reimagines three iconic female characters from theatre in a contemporary setting, connected only by the liminal space of one mysterious hotel room. Featuring Ruthie Ann Miles as Laura Wingfield from The Glass Menagerie (written by Laura Eason), Carmen Zilles as Portia from Julius Caesar (written by Tanya Saracho), and Betsy Wolfe as Emily Webb from Our Town (written by Anna Ziegler), this short film from The Interval is directed by Tony nominee Leigh Silverman.
Inspired by What the Constitution Means to Me, we asked 15 photographers from around the country to photograph teenagers in their communities ranging in age from 13 to 20. Each photographer chose their own subject and submitted work reflective of their point of view. We then asked all the teens, “What do you imagine your life will be like in fifteen years?”
