Joop's Story:  A Veiled Resistance - a Guided, Immersive Experience created by Andie Weiner ('24)

• Content Advisory:  This presentation includes references to the Holocaust, genocide, and antisemitism.

The Invisible Line - a play written by Mer Brown ('24)

• Diamond, Malaika, and Justus are black students at Redwood High - a school where 85% of the students are white. As they start a new school year, they start to take notice of how the lack of diversity is and has affected the way they act and think.
• Content Advisory:  This production includes the use of strong language, discussion of microaggressions, and mentions of “the n-word.”
