History of the Word
Monday, March 09 2009

History of the Word is an innovative, interactive educational program that incorporates the "live theatre experience" with an in-school literacy program. History of the Word follows six high school students over a single day at Future High where they navigate a world filled with hope, fear and the constant need to be accepted. The characters struggle to find acceptance and empowerment through their study of language and history. It celebrates diversity with a cast from all different ethnic backgrounds and features current social and political topics that affect our society and communities. History of the Word is more than just a performance; it completely integrates live theater with a literacy curriculum and is designed to encourage writing as a tool for overcoming the many obstacles that students face today.

 Time: 7:00 PM.
