What is Read to Relate?
Read to Relate is a year round, community centered and community run play discussion group offered by Theatre Memphis to discuss plays written by and about BIPOC, ALAANA and/or differently abled communities.
This program is designed to bridge the divide between our personal understanding of the world around us and the stories of lives we are less familiar with. Our objective is to utilize our resources to amplify the voices of marginalized and oppressed groups and celebrate the collective human story through theatre.
* ALAANA – African, Latinx, Asian, Arab, and Native American
The reading list will be announced very soon.
