A note from our Board President, Kaliswa Brewster
What does a theater space where everyone feels welcome and at home look like?
We are thrilled to be able to keep bringing free productions to Brooklyn’s backyard, Prospect Park. In this time of division and unrest, we believe that live theater can unite and heal.
Molière’s plays written in France 350 years ago may seem like unlikely vehicles to look at the social and political issues of our times, but surprisingly, they always question, confront, provoke and demand that we pay attention. Rather than preach, they hold up a mirror and ask us to look, and laugh. Brooklyn is a microcosm of The United States and of the global world, it is home to every type of person, from every culture and every background. MIP’s goal is to break through the silos and foster community across all of our micro groups. What does a theater space where everyone feels welcome and at home look like? We believe it looks like Molière in the Park- where people from all walks of life are sitting together shoulder to shoulder, breathing the same air, laughing and reflecting, together.
