Few art forms collaborate the way Drama does. When a playwright's words are interpreted by actors on a set, a story is created that will never be seen in quite the same way again. Unless it's recorded and streamed to you, as it will be on Saturday night! You'll be moved by these two fresh works by Beaufield Berry and Laura Leininger-Campbell.
