Doors open for tea and cookies reception at 6:30p.m. followed by a 7p.m. performance of Motus Theater's "TRANSformative Stories" monologues for the Boulder Public Library’s Civic Dialogue series. In this special performance, transgender and nonbinary leaders perform artfully crafted personal stories about their hopes, dreams, and experiences of negotiating oppression and liberation, with live musical underscore. Colorado’s most diverse improv troupe, Motus Playback Theater, will then support the audience to reflect together on gender and reenact reflections on the spot. Regardless of your ideas about legislation focused on transgender & nonbinary people, come together for tea, cookies, and community to hear stories from your transgender & nonbinary neighbors so we all know more about the people impacted by anti-transgender legislation.

This event is scheduled in November to honor the Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR). Also known as the International Transgender Day of Remembrance, TDoR has been observed annually on November 20 to memorialize those who have been murdered as a result of transphobia.[1][2] The day was founded to draw attention to the continued violence directed toward transgender people.[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_Day_of_Remembrance
