The T.R.U.T.H Project to Host Encore Presentation of DEAR HIV/AIDS
The T.R.U.T.H Project (Telling Real Unapologetic Truths through Healing) hosts encore presentation of Dear HIV/ AIDS, an artistic collaboration about the human side of HIV/ AIDS and stigma, Sunday, February 27, 2016, 6:00p.m. at MATCH (Midtown Arts and Theatre Center Houston) 3400 Main St. Houston, TX 77002.
"I'm excited to have the opportunity to bring this production back to the stage," says Kevin Anderson, T.R.U.T.H. Project Founder/CEO. "The packed audience during our last performance is confirmation how the arts can be used to make a difference in the community."
The T.R.U.T.H. Project presented Dear HIV/ AIDS to more than 150 attendees during the November 2015, National Human Side of HIV conference, co-sponsored by AIDS Foundation Houston and Jon Humphries.
Dear HIV/ AIDS is a merged arts experience combining dance, mixed media, song, and spoken word to tell the story of a young person who falls in love, later having to face the realities of coming to terms with an HIV positive diagnosis, an open letter from a mother to her child, and the continuation of a healthy fulfilled life thereafter.
Featured artists include: KRBE 104.1 radio personality, Corinna Delgado; former "So You Think You Can Dance" contestant, Nick Muckleroy; local playwright, Destyne Miller; Rayla Crawford, Atriana Dearmon, James Just, Levi Says, Zion Truth, and Damion Sam.
