LISTEN:Penumbra Theatre opens doors for Ferguson talk
00:00--:--

Penumbra Theatre is hosting a conversation about events in Ferguson, Mo., where the killing of an unarmed young black man by a white police officer unleashed demonstrations and racial unrest.

Sarah Bellamy, co-director of Penumbra, says the theater was holding the event because “this is an emotionally charged topic and an emotionally charged time, and I think people are hungry to talk. Penumbra has always been a safe space for community members to engage in challenging and compassionate conversations around issues of race and racism."
