The White Card
From the author of Citizen comes a new play exploring the state of our racial imagination.
FROM BOSTON
FEB 24 - APR 1, 2018
ACT II
Following each performance of The White Card, audiences are invited to remain in the theater for Act II, a 20 minute facilitated conversation about the play. Act II is an initiative by American Repertory Theater in the same spirit as ArtsEmerson's post-show discussions. ACT II's specific goal is to disrupt the role of audience spectator as passive observer and invite audience members to pursue deeper engagement with The White Card's themes and context.
In addition to these post-show conversations, we invite you to download our Read More Do More resource list to help foster meaningful reflection and conversation beyond the performance experience.
