Collected Excerpts from Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

Director Ricardo Khan

VANGUARDS is a celebration of some of the most treasured works from our archive with contemporary voices of today and new plays that reflect the promise of tomorrow. The common thread is that these works and artists found a home at Crossroads and have inspired the next generation of storytellers. The featured works include excerpts from classic works and new original plays that have origins on our stages.
