I’m excited to announce I have been invited to join the Children’s Theatre Company (CTC) on Saturday, March 19, 2022, for a post-show conversation after their play, “Something Happened in Our Town.”
About the play
“Something Happened in Our Town” is a book written by a biracial team of child psychologists – Marianne Celano, PhD, ABPP; Marietta Collins, PhD; Ann Hazzard, PhD, ABPP – and published by the American Psychological Association. This play is based on the book.
CTC will be performing “Something Happened in Our Town” from Feb. 27 – March 27, 2022. Here’s more about the play from CTC’s website:
“Friendships challenged, a world changed, and two young people struggling to make sense of it together.
Josh and Emma are best friends and neighbors. They love jumping on the trampoline and joking with Emma’s uncle Manny. But when a Black man is killed by a police officer, Emma and Josh have questions about what happened, and why. Layered with compassion and humor, this show invites you to walk alongside Josh, Emma, and their families as they confront uncertainty within their town and amongst themselves.”
About the post-show conversation
After the play is over, I will participate in the post-show conversation, using my expertise to discuss the play, my reaction to it and racial equity. The goal of the discussion is to help the audiences, both young and seasoned, to learn more about our community, process the play, build connections and build empathy.
