Banned Together

BANNED TOGETHER: A Musical Taking Liberties (2004)
Ft. Lauderdale, FL (teens)

 

Banned Together takes us to the fictional town of Wherever, where an controversial piece of art sparks a heated debate between the towns’ two classes, the ruling Overclass and the artistic Underclass. Frightened by the conflict one piece of art has caused, the Overclass decides to begin initiating bans on self-expression. Propelled by the town’s unethical media, what begins as a single ban soon turns into a re-writing of all the town’s laws. Desperate to regain their rights, the Underclass begins meeting secretly to create their art, and develop a plan to put an end to the bans. Can a town divided over art and expression ever come together again?
