We are proud to present...

Presented by Trustus Theatre at Trustus Theatre

In preparation for presenting 2019 Pulitzer Winner Fairview, Trustus is partnering with Coker College to revive their stirring production of We Are Proud to Present […]– an earlier work by Fairview playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury.  A group of actors gather to tell the little-known story of the first genocide of the 20th century. We Are Proud to Present … takes place largely in a rehearsal room that descends from collaborative to absurd as a group of idealistic actors attempt to recreate the extinction of the Herero tribe at the hands of their German colonizers. Along the way, they test the limits of empathy as their own stories, subjectivities, assumptions and prejudices catalyze their theatrical process. Eventually the full force of a horrific past crashes into the good intentions of the present, and what seemed a faraway place and time comes all too close to home.
