Hey, you should join the conversation!
There will be a 20-minute conversation facilitated by Local Lab Co-Director Betty Hart directly following the reading.
SYNOPSIS
Serena, a playwright who has been commissioned by an organization with questionable intentions, navigates a minefield of “Karens”, creative compromises, and re-written history. Chasing Breadcrumbs explores how a Black woman navigates the world and discovers her need to tell a story that money can’t buy.

Land Acknowledgement
Every community owes its existence and vitality to generations from around the world that contributed their hopes, dreams and energy to making the history that led to this moment. Some of the people from the history of this spot were brought here against their will, some were drawn to leave their distant homes in hope of a better life and some have lived on this land for more generations than can be counted. Truth and acknowledgment are critical to building mutual respect and connection across all barriers of heritage and difference. We begin this effort to acknowledge what has been buried by honoring the truth.
Local Theater Company acknowledges, with deep respect, that we are on unceded territory of Hinóno'éí (Arapaho), Tsitsistas (Cheyenne), Nuciu (Ute) Nations and this land is home to many Native Peoples today. We pay respect to their elders both past and present. We ask that you consider the many legacies of violence, displacement, migration and settlement that bring us here today.
This statement was crafted from information found in the #HonorNativeLand Guide from the US Department of Arts and Culture. You can access the guide at https://usdac.us/nativeland/ Thank you to the following organizations that helped deepen our understanding of land acknowledgement and historical truth:
