DAP partners with Playback Workshop Theatre to present the play, Homegrown St. Louis Organic Racism.
Playback Workshop Theater in partnership with the Diversity Awareness Partnership and the St. Louis Metro YWCA presents, “Homegrown: St. Louis Organic Racism, a one-act play that tells the love story of a couple who move to Missouri together, one originally from St. Louis, the other a newcomer from another state. While addressing racial diversity issues is inherent and organic in our region, the storyline weaves an authentic patchwork of scenes which show how societal differences in the region became a true challenge to the relationship of the 2 people involved.
The play is followed by a short playback theatre performance facilitated by Playback WorkshopTheatre’s Artistic Director and Founder, Jacqueline Masei. Masei has over 20 years of experience in playback theatre, theatre of the oppressed and social justice workshops and original performances created by marginalized communities of adults and youth. After the performances there will be a focused discussion facilitated and supported by professionals in the fields of social justice and diversity.
