The university’s theatre department invites the community to the show Living Out, playing at the Chehalem Cultural Center’s Black Box Theater (415 E. Sheridan St.) on Friday and Saturday, April 20-21, at 7:30 p.m. both evenings.
Living Out tells the story of a Salvadoran nanny and the Anglo lawyer she works for. The play explores what is the shared humanity between them and the differences wrought by race, class and Ana’s immigration status. The play also looks at the prejudices and misconceptions between Anglos and Latinos. How do we make someone “the other”? What is the cost of doing so? The play is both outrageously funny and ultimately tragic.
Tickets are “pay what you want” at the door (no reservations). Contact JeanneAnn Faris (jfaris15@georgefox.edu) for more information.
