No Safety Net Theater

Please consider attending these performances! If the cost prohibits you from attending, please let me know and we can find funds to cover your tickets.

From Dean Dillard -
It's my pleasure to draw your attention to a number of upcoming events from our colleagues in UMS (University Musical Society) who have really stepped up their efforts to engage the campus community in R&E conversations through the arts. Here's the link to events that you might find interesting and relevant for your students and classes, starting with a workshop this Saturday on understanding systemic racism:

For students the cost is only $15; if you have LSA students who want to attend but for whom this cost might be prohibitive, please send them my way (ASAP) and I'll see what my office can do to assist. 

And here is information on the
 'No Safety Net' theater series, as described by UMS:  http://ums.org/no-safety-net/.  UMS has organized a number of excellent educational events on campus and the community in tandem with the theater productions.

'
From racism in America to terrorism to transgender identity to radical wellness and healing, these theater pieces will ask us to confront our own opinions and biases, with an eye toward better understanding and a greater resilience to face the world we currently live in.'
