The plays Monday, Nov. 7 at Puffin Cultural Forum include "White Cop/Black Kid," written and directed by Thom Molyneaux, which takes a look at systemic racism in our culture.

"We Will Not Be Silent," written  by David Meyers and directed by Michael Bias, is the true story of of Sophie Scholl, a German college student who led the only major act of civil disobedience during World War II. 

The play examines the role ordinary Germans played in the rise of Hitler, as well as the moral strength and clarity that led a group of German students to risk their lives for a righteous, but hopeless, cause. 

All seats are $10. For tickets, call (201) 836-3499 or e-mail tix@puffinfoundation.org

Each performance will be followed by a talk-back with the playwright, director and cast. It is a chance for participants to be a producer and have a say in the next generation of each of these plays, according to a press release.

The play reading begins at 7 p.m. at Puffin Cultural Forum, 20 Puffin Way, Teaneck.
