The How To Be Project: Ten Plays for Racial Justice

  • First United Methodist Church of Denton 201 South Locust Street Denton, TX, 76201 United States (map)

You’re invited to come to the theater in Dallas on Saturday, February 19!

The HOW TO BE Project is a one-act festival with ten written commissions for Black writers speaking to the current moment of the Black Lives Matter movement, disproportionate policing in communities of color, and the exploration of the America that Langston Hughes called “the dream it use to be”—the idea of freedom and equality for all that our country has yet to fulfill. Inspired by select chapters from Dr. Ibram X. Kendi’s book, How To BeAn Anti-Racist, the festival seeks to present works that continue the dialogue in the enduring struggle for racial justice.

All ethnicities are encouraged to attend.

Everyone must have proof of vaccination or proof of a negative COVID test within 72 hours of the performance. Everyone is required to wear a mask in the theater.

We’ll leave from the church’s East side parking lot off Mulberry St. on Saturday, February 19, at 1:30 pm for the 3 pm showing. If you’d rather not drive, you can carpool with others.

Contact Cynthia Rives if you'd like to travel together or with any questions at cynrives@yahoo.com. The tickets are $25. Buy online here or call the box office at 214-948-0716.
