Brown Face
By Carissa Atallah
Directed By Kashi Johnson
April 14 - 22, 2023
Gracia is a Chicana writer and DREAMer. In order to draw attention to her work but not her undocumented status, Gracia convinces her white and US-born best friend Mariza to perform her poetry. When Gracia's words launch Mariza into gaining a following as a Latinx artist and activist, their friendship is tested by issues of privilege and cultural appropriation. Part play, part poetry slam, "Brown Face" follows a group of college students as they navigate their identities in the competitive world of spoken word poetry.
