For the first time in Panama, Stephen Karam’s dark comedy comes to life at the Theatre Guild of Ancon. In Salem, Oregon, budding journalist Solomon, aspiring actress Diwata, and openly gay senior Howie find themselves connected through a scandal rocking their town. In the face of adults dismissing their opinions, they decide to take matters into their own hands by creating the speech and debate club to have their voices heard once and for all. Written by Tony-winner Stephen Karam, Speech and Debate is a hilarious dark comedy about censorship, reclamation of power, and the connections we forge in the face of adversity.
