You will see pieces that tell stories from all different perspectives, and we curated our list of works carefully to ensure that we could tell as many stories as possible while still remaining authentic! As I said before, we are still growing and attracting new performers, so we made sure to keep our set list appropriate for the performers we have. (We will not have a white actor tell the story of a BIPOC individual. We respect our differences and our right to share our experiences).
Christian Nationalism’s Conjectured Beliefs
There are too many end times conspiracy theories to count, but they mostly have one thing in common: God’s going to save Christians, take them to somewhere else, and everyone else will burn for all eternity. I feel like that’s a little harsh, but the god of the Bible is pretty brutal. Regardless, the point is that…well, what’s the point if we’re going somewhere else and this world can just burn?

Personal Security in the Age of Oligarchs
A new era has dawned across the United States that puts us at risk. To maintain our freedom, integrity, and security, we must make some important changes to how we live, work, and play. Our society no longer can assume that the norms and standards we have enjoyed will continue to frame and protect our privacy and our lives. The responsibility for our well-being, and the well-being of those around us rest on our shoulders.

Injustice in Gaza: a Muslim Perspective
I have witnessed enough children without heads or brains due to explosions, or crushed or buried by rubble than I can bear to stomach, I see my own children's faces in these children.

Colorado Teachers Unions Under Threat

The Woodland Park School District recently settled with the teachers union after they had violated teachers First Amendment rights. It is illegal to require approval of bosses before being allowed to discuss working conditions with the press or on social media. Without the union, it would have been harder to pursue holding the district accountable for breaking labor law. While this was a win, the union, and teachers are still under threat.
