Guthrie Theater Announces WE ARE PROUD TO PRESENT - Performances begin Feb. 21
Via an e-newsletter from the Guthrie Theater:
Find a seat. Any seat in the room. Watch carefully as an ensemble of six American actors -- three black and three white – begins to stage a presentation about a genocide in 1900s colonial Africa. As they earnestly (and comically) stumble through their artistic process, attempting to remain true to the events in the past, they unwittingly unpack a personal and political firestorm of racial dynamics in America in the present. And even the best intentions can’t save them.
Part of the Level Nine Series, devoted to community dialogue about today’s most significant topics and questions.
