Permission Perform was accepted into the 2007 WORD Multicultural Theater Festival and was performed for two sold out shows upon its opening.

Permission Perform explores the themes of m/otherhood, home, welfare and safety. A project headed, collaboratively written and co-directed by tk (tanya karakashian). This special reading will feature new multi-media elements and new readers including talented local mamaz and youth.

We are eager to gift seats to community mamaz. In addition, we will be building an on-site community altar to honor our community mamaz. Audience members are encouraged to bring items to honor their mamaz. This event is co-sponsored by MotherWoman and Food For Thought Books Collective.

The evenings' reading will benefit To Tell You the Truth, a truth and healing grassroots initiative combining awareness raising, healing arts practices, critical media analysis and truth-telling while working with participants as they explore violence on personal, institutional and systemic levels and articulate an anti-violence agenda that comes from their experiences.
