Subject: Youth Reader's Theater on Race and Racism

Thursday, April 28. 2011 yo(u)thSPEAK Reader's Theater Updating the Profile  Society tells us to check a box and then edit ourselves to fit into it. But isn't a limited view of an individual or group of people what drives dehumanization that leads to racism? The young adult staff of fire will be tackling stereotypes, ingrained racism and exploring why some people get left out of the race conversation in a youth written and presented reader's theater. Prepare to be informed and entertained in a reader's theater performance with a community conversation to follow.
