Talkback 2: NOTHING RHYMES WITH JUNETEENTH - Friday, October 23, 2020 07:00 PM in Central Time (US and Canada)
Includes family breakout rooms.
Be a part of the conversation! Racism can be a very difficult subject, especially when discussing it with your children. That’s why DCT is pleased to invite you to watch this short play, then sign up for one or both of the talkbacks. Recommended for ages 9 and up, NOTHING RHYMES WITH JUNETEENTH finds a parent and child trying to complete a rap for a school presentation and will be directed by Cherish Robinson.
Dallas Children’s Theater reached out to local actress Denise Lee to produce this series and lead the talkbacks. While Lee has previously acted in shows at DCT, it was her creation of the movement, Change the Perception, after the 2016 Dallas police shootings that made her an ideal choice for this project. Lee says, “As the founder of Change the Perception, I am very honored to identify the talented directors to present these plays and just as importantly, I am excited to be conducting the talkbacks for this very special project along with Change the Perception Board President, Thomas Collier. Conversations about racism are very difficult, but so very necessary to have in today's climate. We hope that parents and their children will use these experiences to begin a dialogue about racism that fosters a belief system that they will be able to build on well after the talkbacks are over.”
