New DMV theater organization Playing Against stages readings to fight fascism
DC Theater Arts: Kevin O’Connell and Jill Goodrich are a husband-and-wife team and both members of the DC theater community. Jill has been doing community theater since the 4th grade, and Kevin is a dramaturg and the former artistic director of Perisphere Theatre. Now, the duo heads Playing Against, a small volunteer organization that —- to quote the organization’s Facebook page — “produces staged readings of plays that repudiate, ridicule, or otherwise resist His Magasty.” Each reading presents a play that tackles the topic of authoritarianism and raises funds for a civil liberties group.
