Climate Café by Allison M Keating
When the worst of climate change is being lived through, when our cousins are stranded on shrinking islands, when our families are scattered climate refugees, when the fires burn, and we live our lives in cooling centers, how do our souls survive? Like any war, in community. A Climate Cafe is a gathering where we share stories and feel comforted through the collective emotional toll of enduring Climate Change. This play explores three Climate Cafe’s offering hope through community resilience, imagination, and care.

Deadly Gangs by Stephan Collins-Stepney
Zenobia, a Black woman, has leaders of three of the deadliest gangs tied up in her home: Boil, Defot, and Stocky. She tells them that they need to take accountability for what they’ve done to poor Black and Brown communities. Through their discussion, questions are answered. Who are the real villains? Who is responsible for solving the problem? What can be done to improve this community issue?
