190. Black, White & Sunshine with Holly Charles

“Black, White & Sunshine” is a groundbreaking play exposing the disproportionate number of Black children lost in both the juvenile justice and child welfare systems. Our distinguished partners this year are 8 Million Stories, a uniquely necessary school which disrupts the pipeline to prison for at-risk youth, and Child Advocates of Fort Bend, which provides resources to reunite children with their families.

In this episode we discuss:

• HPOP creative process to create Black, White & Sunshine.
• The power of storytelling through plays.
• The correlation from foster care and the school to prison pipeline.

Houston Play on Purpose is offering six (6) showings, August 1st - August 4th, three of which will feature expert panels and/or a reception.
