Telling My Story
Final Performances
Thursday, August 11th and Friday, August 12th
The time for both performances is 7:00pm

We would like to extend an invitation for you to join the students of Dartmouth College's AAAS 81.05/WGSS 66.5 "Telling Stories for Social Change" along with the residents of Valley Vista, for a collaborative and original end of term performance. This Experiential Learning course, co-taught by Pati Hernandez and Reena Goldthree, offers students the unique opportunity to study issues surrounding incarceration and addiction through two distinct perspectives, theoretical and practical. Students have focused on the issues addicts face both inside and outside the rehabilitation center, while exploring facilitation with critical analysis and self-reflection on the effectiveness of community-based learning and performance in rehabilitation. We would like you to join us in the culmination of this course - the creation and performance of an original production that focus on the voices of the Valley Vista residents.

The performance is scheduled for THURSDAY, AUGUST 11th and FRIDAY, AUGUST 12th at the Valley Vista Rehabilitation Center. Performance time for both shows is 7:00pm.
