We Are Proud to Present a Presentation About the Herero of Namibia @ Goppert Performing Arts Center

A group of actors gathers in a rehearsal room with an ambitious goal: to tell the story of the first genocide of the 20th century. As they begin constructing a performance about the Herero people of Namibia and their systematic destruction under German colonial rule, the process feels earnest, collaborative, even hopeful. But the work refuses to stay contained and the rehearsal room fractures. Written by Jackie Sibblies Drury. Tickets: $10 general admission, $8 seniors and non-Avila students, Avila students free, children under 10 free. Reserve tickets at box.office@avila.edu or 816-501-3699.
