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.

Featuring Motus Theater TRANSformative Stories Monologists Alison Reba (they/them) and David Breña (he/him). Featuring music from acclaimed violinist Anthony Salvo (he/him). 

Registration is recommended for email reminders and to hold a seat until 6:50 pm. Walk-ins are welcome, but seating is limited. The library hours end at 5pm on Fridays. Entry will be through the Canyon Blvd entrance (north side) for this afterhours event.

Leading up to the election and beyond, the Boulder Public Library invites all community members to rediscover the history and importance of voting and civil civic dialogue in our country through our fall Democracy Series. From interactive storytimes to insightful workshops, this engaging series will foster community connections as we navigate this election year together.
