New Dawn Theatre is raising funds and honoring the memory of George Floyd with "A Breath for George," a collection of songs, interviews and poems that will be screened outdoors June 14-21 at a variety of locations.
Aimee Bryant, Thomasina Petrus, T. Mychael Rambo and Regina Marie Williams are among the performers lending their talents to the free program, which is designed to give hope, as well as address systemic racism and police violence. Contributions at the screenings, taking place at Pillsbury House, Mixed Blood, Gremlin and other theaters, will be donated to charity.
"There is value in people knowing that they are not alone in the way that they are feeling right now," said Austene Van, New Dawn artistic director in a news release. "There is also value in speaking truth to people who have never heard our stories or ever been in position to hear our stories."
