ARTS GARAGE in Delray Beach to Present Thought-Provoking A MILE IN MY SHOES, November 5

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - EntSun -- (Delray Beach, FL – September 28, 2023) Marjorie Waldo, President & CEO of Arts Garage, today announced the nonprofit organization is launching a new theatre season with another thought-provoking, community driven, and socially relevant production from a contemporary  cutting-edge playwright.

November 5 (Sunday) at 7 pm

A Mile in My Shoes

Written by and starring Kathryn Taylor Smith

Presented in collaboration with the Delray Beach Initiative to End Homelessness, A Mile in My Shoes is a mix of poetry, drama and comedy in "consciousness raising theatre," inspired by the playwright's research and personal interviews with past and present members of the homeless community in LA, as well as those who advocate for them

Masterfully directed by Zadia Ife, the one-woman play follows "Ester", an omniscient shoe whisperer as she walks through a day in her life on Skid Row connecting with a transgender teen, a young mom, a mentally ill substance abuser, a high school valedictorian, a police officer, and a variety of concerned citizens at a city council meeting.
