Hello, Friends! Please see what we, the University of Puget Sound Department of Theatre Arts, empathos company, and an intergenerational company of alumni, recent graduates, students, faculty, staff, and local theatre artists, are presenting next month! *Fairview, *written by Jackie Sibblies Drury, is a challenging play about the contemporary Black experience, inventively presents the dilemmas of race, perception, and representation. In the play, one family’s birthday celebration for their matriarch becomes the occasion for appropriation by characters who want the satisfaction of stereotypes. The violence at the heart of racialized imaginations emerges in theatrical ways. How do the things we watch on television and in movies make us think we know about marginalization and identity? Who is playing what roles? Who is watching and being watched? What happens when we change our vantage point? Please [reserve your *FREE tickets* here <https://ups.universitytickets.com/w/event.aspx?SeriesID=21>]; donations are accepted at the box office. Seating is limited.
