Devised by The Conciliation Project and VCUarts Theatre Directed by Dr. Tawnya Pettiford-Wates This is a devised collaboration between The Conciliation Project and VCUarts Theatre. The thirteen member ensemble intentionally interrogates whiteness, white supremacy, and white culture through the transformative power of story. We use satire, story, anecdotes, commentary, music and dance to immerse ourselves in the characters and character “types” unpacking and deconstructing culture, “norms”, and the mythology surrounding race, racism, and the truth of white-skinned privilege. Proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test (within 48 hours of the performance) is required upon entry. Masks are required.

Price: $5-$15
