“This is a play about how our country, our communities, our towns, our families are all better, stronger, the more diverse we are,” says playwright Kevin Daly
On January 19, 2017 at 5:30pm, Panndora Productions and the Garage Theatre gathered in a collective, simultaneous action, creating "light" for challenging times ahead. Inspired by the tradition of leaving a "ghost light" on in a darkened theater, we pledged to stand for and protect the values of inclusion, participation, and compassion for everyone--regardless of race, class, religion, country of origin, immigration status, (dis)ability, age, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
January 19th was a moment of gathering within a larger resistance to intolerance at all levels. We aim to create brave spaces that will serve as lights in the coming years. We aim to activate a network of people across the country working to support vulnerable communities. We pledge continued vigilance and increased advocacy.
