In October, Kenyon launched a year-long virtual residency with Theatre of War Productions, which uses theatre productions based in classical texts to foster dialogue about pressing social and public health issues. Ohio Five campuses were invited to participate in the October 8 performance and discussion around Antigone in Ferguson, a dramatic production focusing on racialized police justice. Kenyon has announced plans to include the general public in its next event, The Book of Job, which draws on a dramatic reading of the Biblical text to understand natural disaster.
