Desiertos - Teatrotaller

Desiertos
Performed by Teatrotaller (an undergraduate student group from Cornell University)

Saturday, November 7
Woodruff Auditorium
16:45h.

The play, Desiertos, relates to the documentary (Crossing Arizona) that Professor Day presented at Budig.

For the past several weeks, Professor Day has been collecting milk cartons to serve as props, representing the jugs of water humanitarian groups leave in the desert for migrants.

Many students at KU have volunteered to work with these groups, especially No Más Muertes, so don't forget to remind your students about this opportunity!
