We Are Proud to Present a Presentation About the Herero of Namibia, Formerly Known as Southwest Africa, From the German Südwestafrika, Between the Years 1884–1915
ABOUT THIS SHOW
There’s more to history than what’s in the books. We Are Proud to Present a Presentation… tells the story of what happens when a group of actors explore the long-forgotten––or possibly never remembered––history of German colonization of Namibia and its devastating effects. This gut-wrenching, intelligent, often funny—until it’s not—play asks us, what happens when we only have one side of the story?
Everyone is welcome to attend our Relaxed/Sensory-Friendly performance, Saturday, March 16. For more information, please visit this event page.
