Bring your family, friends, and co-workers to see “To My White Friends Who
Know Me” – this special presentation encourages audiences to make an effort
to cross racial lines in friendship and collectively work toward racial
equity. Performances are Friday, November 3 at 7:00 pm and Saturday,
November 4 at 2:00 pm at French Creek theatre Tickets on sale now at
https://lorain.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/list/event?event_date_id=5323.



Through engaging, substantive, and often humorous dialogue, audiences are
kept actively engaged and ready to participate in the post-show discussion.
The call to action is inspiring because of—rather than in spite of—its
willingness to call out difficulties while encouraging audiences to
continue to make an effort to cross racial lines in friendship and work
toward greater equity.



The lead role of “Debbie” in this Lorain County production is played by
Lydia Lee, actor and singer based in Elyria. She hopes to serve, encourage,
and inspire community members to embrace the best parts of themselves and
aspire to [achieving] their dreams and goals for the benefit of everyone.



This community social trust project, produced by Getting to We, is brought
to you at the French Creek Theatre and Nature Center courtesy of our
community partners and sponsors: the Community Foundation of Lorain County,
Huntington Bank, the Lorain County Chamber of Commerce, the Lorain County
Metro Parks, the Lorain County Urban League, the Lorain Historical Society,
the Lorain Public Library System, and the Nord Family Foundation.



For more information, contact Barb Piscopo at bpiscopo at lorainhistory.org or
call the Lorain Historical Society at 440-245-2563.



This play is based on the book “Some of my friends are…the daunting
challenges of cross-racial friendships” by Deborah Plummer.
