<h2>Telling Our Stories: Healing the Wounds of Racism, Building Beloved Community</h2>In 3 interactive sessions of theater and discussion, participants see themselves in one another’s stories of race and racism as they are brought to life on stage by members of Playback for Change, a Philadelphia-based ensemble that facilitates racial understanding using the improvisational theater form Playback Theatre.
