| InterACT
drama group of California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), will
bring “Words of our Students,” an interactive performance
that helps promote dialogue on racism, to Berea College on Nov. 11.
The performance, at 8 p.m. in Phelps Stokes Chapel, includes a talk-back
session where the audience can interact with the cast.
The actor-educators of interACT reflect the diversity of college campuses,
and the scene, scripted entirely from students’ journal entries
and anonymous confessionals, helps illuminate the deep rift that
still exists between Caucasian students and persons of color.
“Words of our Students” was created five years ago by
CSULB Communications Studies professor Marc Rich and has been presented
to groups worldwide ever since.
The performance is co-sponsored by the Center for Excellence in Learning
through Service (CELTS) and the Black Cultural Center of Berea College.
Admission is free and open to the public.
