Informed & Entertained
Informed and Entertained is a virtual cabaret series told in the style of a living newspaper. The Void’s lead artists, working with burgeoning, young playwrights from across the country, present five original scenes that are inspired by a specific news article or current event. Each scene was devised in tandem with the playwrights, Void lead artists, and a wonderful cast of young actors from across the country. What can be more current than today’s headlines?

Conspiratio
By Will Vence Jr.
Director: Kelly Fleming
Dramaturg: Brittney Anderson
Director of Photography: Daniel Jones
They say that there’s one truth, the one that is truly the most true and real. In 2020, the truest truth is obscured by fake truth, lies, and a system of media that blockades the actual truth from being shared. In Conspiratio, we desperately try to trust ourselves and dig through the fake truths, secrets, and lies to reach the truest truth: the one that’s truly, without a doubt, true.
