When Bobby Daniel Rodriguez, Kaili Y. Turner, and Kim Rios Lin set out to produce their 3rd Colors of Community event they were fully aware of the event's timing three days after our Nation's Presidential election. The house was packed at HSA Theater, with individuals of all emotions ready to absorb the Colors of Community Mission: 'To help bridge the divides between communities through theater and discourse.'

The November 11th series of Colors of the Community will discuss women's issues and female empowerment; racial relations; law enforcement and the community; and the black market of orphan rehoming. The featured plays were all written and directed by women. Ensuing discussion will feature an all-woman panel, moderated by a woman!
