MMIWR National Day of Theatre Readings
Join us as we raise awareness while building Indigenous and allied community in Colorado Springs.
May 5 | 3:30-6pm
Fine Arts Center Taste Room
FREE ENTRY
Colorado College Department of Theatre & Dance is honored to participate in a National Day of Theatre Readings.
Coordinated by the Native Performing Arts Network, dozens of theatres and universities across the U.S. present readings and performances to highlight the MMIWR movement on May 5th, focusing on plays and pieces by Indigenous writers. These productions are a form of activism, aimed at fighting the statistical erasure of Indigenous folks and the lack of media coverage.
5 visiting Indigenous and Latinx artists will perform two staged readings of existing works: Marcie Rendon’s Say Their Names and Jeff Barehand and Jaisey Bates’ Never Be Afraid, as well as chosen monologues and pieces developed during a week-long workshop, alongside Colorado College students.
With a rolling entry, all are welcome to drop in and join us. Light bites will be served, with the performances beginning at 4pm.
All are welcome.
