More about Whitewashed:
Playback is a form of improvisational theater in which audience members share moments from their lives which are played back as theater, on the spot. It’s a way to illuminate both the individuality and the commonality of our all-too-human stories and enables us to see each other in a new, often more compassionate light, especially across differences of background, role, or values.

We are limiting ticket sales for Whitewashed to 50 for social distancing and recommend masks regardless of vaccination status. There is no charge to attend. Reserve by clicking on this link: Eventbrite registration.
