Lines in the Dust: Using Arts to Examine Education

May 12 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Using arts as a catalyst for meaningful discussion the NAER presents a staged reading of the play Lines in the Dust by Nikkole Salter. Set in Essex County, Lines in the Dust is a play about the lack of equity in our education system and the lengths people will go to in order to give their children a chance for a different life. The play reflects the realities of post-industrial urban/suburban communities and explores issues of race; identity; opportunity; and the meaning of community – issues that are relevant to everyone, regardless of where they live.

Evening includes seeing excerpts of Lines in the Dust by facilitated group discussion. Light appetizers provided. All are welcome.
