Braver Angels to Host Free Red/Blue Workshop in Brookeville on June 13 to Help Reduce Political Polarization
BROOKEVILLE, Md. — At a time when political divisions are straining friendships, families, and communities, <a href="https://braverangels.org?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Braver Angels</a>, the nation’s largest grassroots organization dedicated to political depolarization, is inviting local residents to participate in a free Red/Blue Workshop on Saturday, June 13, 2026.
The workshop is designed for people who are concerned about the increasing rancor in American politics and want to engage in respectful, constructive dialogue across political differences.
Developed by one of Braver Angels’ founders, a family therapist, the organization’s flagship Red/Blue Workshop format has been successfully conducted across the country to help participants “lower the temperature” surrounding political disagreements and build greater understanding between people with differing viewpoints.
The workshop brings together equal numbers of conservative-leaning (“Red”) and liberal-leaning (“Blue”) participants for a day of guided conversation and structured activities. The goal of the program is to help participants:
<ul>
 <li>Better understand people with differing political perspectives </li>
 <li>Reduce stereotypes and misconceptions </li>
 <li>Clarify areas of disagreement respectfully </li>
 <li>Discover shared values and common ground </li>
</ul>
Rigorous research has proven these workshops reduce political hostility and strengthen community relationships.
The event will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
at Salem United Methodist Church in Brookeville, Maryland. A lunch break will be included.
The workshop is free to attend for adults ages 19 and older. Participants may register using the promo code “Braver.”

Music and Lyrics by STEPHEN SONDHEIM
Book by JAMES LAPINE
Originally Directed on Broadway by James Lapine
Orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick
James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone's favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece... and a rare modern classic. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both enchanting and touching.
The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.
One of Sondheim's most popular works, Into the Woods is a musically sophisticated show with the opportunity to feature actors adept at dark comedy. Designers will especially enjoy highlighting the fantastical elements of this magical word.
INTO THE WOODS Is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. <a href="https://www.mtishows.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.mtishows.com</a>
Into the Woods is a darkly comedic, complex musical recommended for children aged 10+ due to mature themes, character deaths, and emotional intensity.
