Block 8: World Premiere
February 20-March 8, 2009
Ten Japanese internment camps were in operation on American soil during World War II. One of them, Topaz, was located sixteen miles outside of Delta, Utah. How could such a thing happen? In a post-9/11 world, could it happen again? BLOCK 8 centers on Ken (Bryan Kido), a young Nisei internee at Topaz, who is grappling with whether or not to enlist in the military to prove his loyalty as a U.S. citizen. He begins a tentative friendship with Ada (Anita Booher), a librarian working at the camp whose son is fighting in the Pacific. Plan-B's hope in creating and producing BLOCK 8 is to explore the passive racism that allowed the internment to happen while preserving this little-discussed piece of Utah history.

I was lucky to get free tickets during their rehearsals and let me tell you it was fantastic. I loved every minute of it. The actors were not only amazing, but were very funny during the breaks (breaks were only done during the rehearsals) I highly recommend seeing this play. You could listen to it on the radio, but you will be missing SO much. Collapse

Thanks for the comment regarding new playwrights and how much you enjoyed THE END OF THE HORIZON I would like to be sure it's clear that Utah Shakespearean Festival's New American Playwright's Project first workshopped the play, then we at Plan-B did further workshopping before our world premiere production. It is specifically part of Plan-B's mission to fully produce works by Utah playwrights. Collapse
