You’re invited to DFL’s first-ever Living Library program!
First, you’ll be treated to a live scene from “Looking Back,” a new, original play by Andrea Markowitz about a real-life 1950s Cave Creek rancher who plans to subdivide his ranch. The scene involves his conflict with a neighbor who does not want a subdivision bordering her ranch.
Next, the audience will break out into facilitated Story Circles to react to the scene and share our own stories about living in the Cave Creek region. Each person will have about three minutes to share a personal story based on the theme for the day: “At home in the Cave Creek area, what calls you to live in the desert foothills?” When all stories are told, the group will reflect on connections made.
“Looking Back” will be presented in its entirety Nov. 17 - 19 at Desert Foothills Library, in collaboration with Desert Foothills Theater and the Cave Creek Museum.
