Who decides what stories make it to the "main stage"? Why are there only a few minorities in the theatre productions I see? If you have asked yourself any of these questions, this class is for you. For far too long people in marginalized communities have been excluded from presenting their own narratives on stage. As a result, negative stereotypes and false images of people and groups have been perpetuated. This class teaches students how to be co-creators with people within marginalized communities. As someone rightly said, "it's not that communities of color don't have a voice, they just don't have the mic;" this class prepares students by teaching them the art of passing the microphone so everyone can tell their own stories on stage.
