This Pacific Northwest premiere brings the electrifying energy of spoken-word poetry to the stage!
It’s risky for an undocumented young Chicana writer to share her work in public. When this brilliant poet asks her best friend to perform her work onstage, the words ignite audiences and launch her stand-in into the spotlight as a rising Latinx voice. But as the applause grows louder, so do the questions: Who owns a story? Who gets heard? And what happens when activism and ambition collide?
Blending theatre with the pulse of the poetry-slam scene, Brown Face explores friendship, identity, and cultural appropriation with humor, heart, and urgency.
May 8-24, Fridays and Saturdays: 7:30pm; Sundays: 2pm. Recommended for ages 13+.
