Audiences will discover compassion in their own lives that they can bring forward to meet the ethnic stereotypes plaguing us locally and nationally. In addition to surveys and post-show discussions, complementary workshops will teach techniques for using puppets and autobiographical journaling exercises to experience compassion.
