Issues such as eating disorders, divorce, single motherhood, victim blaming and alcoholism were portrayed Wednesday through Saturday as the final projects of the Theatre and Community course taught by Steve Kent and Alma Martinez in Jane Dibbel Cabaret.
When theater and community collide, the motifs are endless. Taught by Steve Kent and Alma Martinez, the University of La Verne's Theatre in Community class looks to explore just some of the surrounding communities' most poignant social issues.
The students of the theater and community class have combined their individual passions for theater into a string of eight performances called “The Power of Hope” that push ignored issues into the limelight.
