Banned Together: A Censorship Cabaret is a celebration of songs and scenes from shows that have been censored or challenged on America’s stages. Designed to raise awareness around issues of censorship and free expression in the theater, previous performances have featured selections from Cabaret, Chicago, Almost, Maine, Rent, and Angels in America, among other notable works, with contextual commentary by Dramatists Legal Defense Fund president John Weidman.

Presented by the DLDF in partnership with PEN America, the 2018 edition of Banned Together will be performed during Banned Books Week in cities across the United States. Be sure to check the DLDF website for the latest information, updates, and ticket information!
