RSVP here to join us for the affinity group discussion of "The Niceties" on Sunday, August 2 at 5 PM (Pacific Time).

MORE INFORMATION ON AFFINITY GROUP DISCUSSIONS:
"The Niceties" begins as an academic debate between a white professor and a Black student. As the play continues the racial divide becomes disturbingly apparent. There are contrasting perspectives on history, on values, on society.

To explore the many layers of the play, we will begin the post show conversations in affinity groups for Black, white, and Non-Black People of Color, and then return to a larger group for share-outs and further discussion. We acknowledge people may identify with more than one group! After the show join the group that most influences your perception of the play.

Why affinity groups? Our goal is to offer a community discussion that begins with providing a safer space for each group to speak openly about their experiences, especially for persons of color. Affinity groups are helpful for people who may not feel safe in the larger community because they are in the numerical minority. During affinity group meetings, people can share freely and without inhibition about their experiences. This way, each group can begin a robust, open conversation. Then we will all come back together to share more about our reactions to the play.
