Forced Relocation and the Human Right to Housing
Pushing past the boundaries of theater, documentary and activism, 'Capers is a one-woman show based on the stories of families at the Arthur Capper/Carrollsburg public housing projects -- also known as 'Capers -- in Southeast DC who protested the government-funded relocation and demolition of their neighborhood. After two years in the making, 'Capers weaves together nearly a dozen characters in this moving portrait of families struggling to fight for their community and their human right to a place to live.
When: Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., Sundays at 3:30 p.m., from Jan. 12 to Feb. 5 Where: Mead Theater Lab (916 G St. NW) More Info: Tickets are $10; special pay-what-you-can preview on Wednesday, Jan. 11. Contact 202/315-1340 or tickets@caperstheplay.com for tickets. Check out the 'Capers website at www.caperstheplay.com.
