Theater
First Inc. is launching a new initiative that introduces middle
and high school children to relevant professional theater that
addresses important life issues and also serves as a platform
to re-introduce the arts as central to learning.
History of the Word follows six high school students
over a single day at Future High where they navigate a world filled
with hope, fear and the constant need to be accepted. The characters
struggle to find acceptance and empowerment through their study
of language and history. It celebrates diversity with a cast from
all different ethnic backgrounds and features current social and
political topics that affect our society and communities.
