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.

In collaboration with the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia, Motus JustUs monologists who were formerly incarcerated share powerful personal stories about the impact of the criminal legal system on their lives and families. Law enforcement, judges and the district attorneys co-read the stories of the JustUs monologists, standing for a moment in the shoes of someone formerly incarcerated. The presentation interweaves monologues with the musical resonances of Colorado’s Spirit of Grace. This unique performative collaboration focuses on the impact on juveniles.
