What to Send Up When It Goes Down, Feb. 9 – Feb. 18 

WHO:                        The Africana Studies and Theatre and Dance Departments at Nassau Community

                                  Danielle Criss. 

WHAT:                     Experience ritual theater that explores the absurdity of racism in a series of

                                    facilitated dialogue.
