The plays are The Giver & Gathering Blue adapted by Eric Coble from the Newbery Award-winning books by Lois Lowry.

In the midst of urban warfare, somehow Ponyboy can’t forget a short poem that speaks of their fragile young lives:
Nikki Brake-Sillá will read excerpts from her work in progress “Invisi(bility)” which strives to illuminate race as a phenotypic construct.
