Christ Church Arts in Hudson, New York is presenting a reading of Censored: Banned Books and Freedom of Speech by Carolyn Kay Brancato on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at 4 pm. 
The actors will bring the audience into key moments in the battle against censorship as far back as Puritan days. They will read from books that have been banned and explore the increasingly draconian penalties teachers, librarians, journalists and others face as they stand up to organized censorship and attempts to silence their First Amendment rights of Freedom of Speech. The audience will be invited to a talkback following the play.
