Marfa Live Arts with KMKB FM presents Radio Plays in the Time of Corona, four radio plays written by award-winning Marfa, Texas high school playwrights and brought to life by actors: Diana Burbano, David DeLaO, Robert A. Kraft, Giselle Marie Muñoz, Arthur Ruíz and Mónica Sánchez.

The plays are: Friend or Foe: Legend of the Hellhound by Devin Meierhoff; No Compass by Aubrie Aguilar; It's Not Always Sunshine and Rainbows at Coneset Hill by Febi Brimhall; and Rona by Avery Beltran.

The plays were written by Marfa High School students during the 9th Playwriting Program hosted by Marfa Live Arts and taught by New York playwright Caridad Svich. Usually, the winning student plays are staged using adult actors for the community at the Crowley Theater, however, due to COVID-19, the plays were unable to be produced. Making lemonade out of pandemic lemons – Marfa Live Arts decided to adapt and to instead produce Radio Plays in the Time of Coronain orderto showcase these young playwright’s words. We hope you enjoy listening to them.
