In recognition of our 30th Anniversary, Serious Play Theatre Ensemble is gathering together an array of local performing artists, musicians, speakers, singers, poets, all pledging resistance and resilience to the destructive policies of the new administration, and celebrating our strong, vibrant and unified Valley community. We will sing, play music, share poetry and hear constructive ideas for enduring the next 4 years, in celebration of community solidarity! We will not be silenced.
Serious Play will stand shoulder to shoulder with many artists, speakers and our community, to uphold our values of inclusion, collaboration and compassion for everyone, regardless of race, class, religion, immigration status, ability, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, holding tight to democracy.
Many Valley performing artists and speakers will be donating their time and talent. “When enough people come together then change will come, and we can achieve almost anything.” (Greta Thunberg)
