Fulton Street Collective presents a reading of “EXHIBIT”, a new one-woman play by Regina
Taylor—award-winning actress, writer, director, and activist—on October 9th and 10th at 7:30 PM.
In “EXHIBIT”, we follow Iris, an artist triggered by today’s backlash and rollback of social progress. As she retraces her childhood memories of the martyrdom of innocence for a cause in a violently fractured civil rights era America, Iris grapples with the question: What is the cost of a ticket to freedom—and when will we ever arrive?
“EXHIBIT” is the Recipient of the 2023 Theatre Aspen Solo Flights Award. Taylor is presenting public readings of the work in selected cities during this very incendiary Presidential campaign season. The play will premiere at Denver Colorado’s Curious Theater in May 2025.
“EXHIBIT is Art meeting Purpose because now is not the time to be silent. The work is about getting people to use their voices- To get out and Vote!” -Regina Taylor
