Join ArtYard and Playwright Tylie Shider for a staged reading of Whittier, a multimedia docudrama that follows a diverse community of neighbors quarantined in Whittier, Minneapolis, days after the murder of George Floyd. Directed by Andrew Binger, a Newark-based actor, director, and educator, Whittier is inspired by the graffiti, lawn signs, and murals created in protest of George Floyds murder. The piece is adapted from focus groups, interviews, and small talks the playwright conducted with neighbors, small business owners, and community leaders of faith during the 2020 uprisings in his neighborhood.
Ages: Suggested 13 and older
