With support from the California Arts Council PLAYHOUSE ARTS will present the Fourth Annual production of Migrations: Walking Together. Migrations is an ensemble-created multi-disciplinary, multicultural performance procession that involves dance, theater, movement, masks, puppets, storytelling, poetry and music. The structure of this production is a procession, as walking together unites us in a shared journey. The procession stops at various locations where different cultural and community groups from our rural remote region will share their work, play, culture and perspectives.
