Doors open for tea and cookies reception at 6:30p.m. followed by a 7p.m. performance of Motus Theater's TRANSformative Stories monologues for the Boulder Library’s Civic Dialogue series. In this special performance, transgender and nonbinary leaders perform artfully crafted personal stories about their hopes, dreams, and experiences of negotiating oppression and liberation, with live musical underscore. Colorado’s most diverse improv troupe, Motus Playback Theater, will then support the audience to reflect together on gender and reenact reflections on the spot. Regardless of your ideas about legislation focused on transgender & nonbinary people, come together for tea, cookies, and community to hear stories from your transgender & nonbinary neighbors so we all know more about the people impacted by anti-transgender legislation.

Motus Theater invites you to a special adventure of improvisational theater where you hear Motus JustUs monologist, Terri House, share a personal story about the criminal legal system’s impact on her and her family. Afterward, we will reflect as a community on ways we each have negotiated love, judgment, and systems of harm in our own lives, and then watch as professional improv artists enact OUR stories on the spot. Musician Adolfo Romero will underscore the stories from the audience as we co-create a theater event whose subject is the life experiences of the people attending the show. What’s your story?
