Rivertown Film welcomes Illuminate the Darkness, Women of Color, a unique film-based theatrical event, to The Nyack Center on Friday, March 8. Illuminate the Darkness is a theatrical project started when Bea Conner-Pohl interviewed women of different races and ethnicities illustrating their plights, their tragedies and their achievements. It shows how they address the cultural inequities that affected them through their own unique ways of humor, common sense, heart and empowerment. It is interspersed with compelling historical theatrical re-enactment, visual interviews and audience participation. This event has also been invited to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for August 2024 performances in Scotland. Tickets are on sale now!
Presented in collaboration with Phoenix Theatre Ensemble https://www.phoenixtheatreensemble.org/ . Illuminate the Darkness, Women of Color, Voices of Change was partially funded with a grant from Humanities New York https://humanitiesny.org/ .
