GREAT VALLEY HOSTS DIVERSITY PROGRAM IN WHICH AUDIENCE STARS
March 28, 2006Penn State Great Valley’s Diversity Action Council is sponsoring “Playback for Change — Isms and Phobias: Experiencing Diversity” from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, April 20, in the Musser Auditorium of the Safeguard Scientifics Building on campus.
Playback for Change is a Philadelphia-area troupe of actors and musicians that presents an interactive, improvisational theatre performance in which the real-life experiences of the audience are the subject matter. In this performance, audience members will have the opportunity to hear and tell personal stories about “isms and phobias” and see them embodied by the Playback troupe. Through the telling and re-enactment of these stories, an intellectual discussion about diversity is transformed into a heartfelt experience, and the community can become stronger and more welcoming to all.
The free event is open to the public.
