We Are Proud to Present…

A motif in WE ARE PROUD TO PRESENT… is the trees in the desert in Namibia. Inspired by this, dramaturg Ramona Ostrowski created two trees out of wire and placed them on tables in the lobby. Audience members were prompted to “write us a letter”—a reference to the frequent letters in the text—on notecards, sharing their questions, reactions, and feelings about the play. They then attached these cards to the trees.
