This genre of theatre began in the 1930's through the Work Progress Administration. It's a dramatic storytelling form that uses fictional characters to talk about real issues. Ensemble Theatre of Chattanooga is employing this form for a new play written by cast and crew and ripped from newspaper headlines of today. 'Living Newspaper' runs from March 23rd through April 1st at the St. Andrew's Center.
