Join Teaching for Change’s Associate Director Allyson Criner Brown and history teacher and BYP100 member Ashley Williams for a post-play discussion of Pipeline and connections to the annual Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action (February 3-7, 2020). The National Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action campaign takes place annually in cities across the United States to promote a set of national demands based in the Black Lives Matter guiding principles that focus on improving the school experience for students of color. Dominique Moresseau’s drama looks at systems of racism and discrimination in both public and private high schools, and dovetails with the BLM @ School campaign’s goal to civically engage students and build their empathy, collaboration, and agency so they are able to thrive. A closing event for the 2020 Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action in D.C., coordinated by D.C. Area Educators for Social Justice, a project of Teaching for Change.  

Student tickets to all performances are $20. Educators receive 50% off any performance of Pipeline with the code TEACHER50, which you can use online or on the phone with the box office.
