Join us for a reading of How Can I Say This so You Will Stay.

How Can I Say This So You Will Stay is a fantastical romp through the research of Dr. Amy Damrow and Dr. Jaqueline Sweeney. The play follows a group of student teachers in 2016 are thrust into an academic study on those difficult dialogues we try to avoid. As the students delve into topics ranging form Black Lives Matter to the contentious 2016 election the ways politicized identities play out in their everyday life become clear. The question of who are really and the tension that creates with the world around us come to the forefront. Do we stay in the room with that tension or do we leave? How can we stay?
