Falconworks Theater Company presents "The Program"

A new virtual play exploring the roots of white supremacy in our society and the path to acceptance and recovery.

Neighbors,

Our new play THE PROGRAM premieres this Wednesday! (Run Sept 23-26 & Sept 30-Oct3)

Here is a little about the play and how to get tickets. We had our Tech/Dress rehearsal yesterday and it was incredibly moving. You can see a clip on our instagram @falconworkstheater

THE PROGRAM was originally designed as a 360-degree, interactive experience, placing audience members and actors alike at a meeting of a 12-step program for people recovering from white supremacy. Due to the COVID 19 pandemic we have redesigned the play as a completely immersive virtual experience where EVERYONE is part of the show! As the cast share the experiences of their characters, members of the audience will likewise be invited to take part in the meeting and find a path to recovery for themselves and their community. Let this performance become a safe meeting place, where we may bravely address systemic racism and find solutions in the struggle for justice, equality, and even our own humanity.

To keep the atmosphere as intimate as possible, the number of audience members at each performance will be limited.
