Join us for "In Community We Trust", a digital event featuring new works by J.C. Pankratz, Jonathan Norton, and Eliana Pipes.
This January, the Company One Surge Lab writers bring you In Community We Trust — an evening of short plays on the theme of wellbeing and community health, explored through a lens of hope and action. The stories — funny, incisive, and full of heart — will be presented alongside conversations with Boston-area community partners and activists, and include action steps that attendees can take to help build a Better Future together.
"The Waiting Room" by Eliana Pipes, directed by Ciera-Sadé Wade, featuring Elle Borders, stage managed by Afrikah Selah, followed by a conversation with Nashira Baril, Project Director at Neighborhood Birth Center
