Common Ground - What Unites Us? What
Divides Us?
in partnership with the Rhode Island Council for the
Humanities (RICH)
Created to celebrate Arts and Humanities Month for October
2005,
we will continue to investigate our nation's
founding principles with this year's theme.
|
This is a 40 minute program
in our unique readers-theatre style that explores issues that
"keep the complex world alive", issues like class, race, sexuality and
language. These issues can either unite or divide us as
human beings.
We will visit five Rhode Island libraries with
this new program.
Join us as performers Sam
