LOB Filming: Social Justice
Many thanks to Amber Espar for hosting us at True Story Theater in Arlington, for the first segment in our Social Justice episode. Their mission is to build empathy, respect, and understanding across differences that divide us, through the honoring of true life stories. In performances, volunteers from the audience are helped to share what’s important in their lives. On the spot, actors then portray the heart of what they heard using music, movement, and dialogue. From this simple interaction, people laugh, cry, share fresh insights, and bond. LOB Executive Producer Don Kelley and I had the opportunity to be “tellers” as the troupe was rehearsing.
