If Thy Tongue Can Speak
This spring, the AU community is hosting a play, If Thy Tongue Can Speak, written, directed and produced by students advocating for the people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Performances will be held Friday, April 11 and Saturday, April 12th in the McDowell Formal Lounge on campus. A panel of experts on the crisis in the Congo will follow each night's performance. Written explicitly for a college audience, the play gives a voice to those who cannot tell their story and aims to spread the news of the crisis in the Congo in an effort to inspire students to respond creatively and act immediately to help end the conflict.
