Friday, november 27 @ 4pm PST/7pm EST with LIVE commentary with EYTE’s own Theo Perkins, Director & Artistic Director - CLICK HERE - VIEW LIVEWSTREAM NOW!

Directed by Theo Perkins, Executive & Artistic Director

Written and arranged by Angela Kariotis, Curriculum Director & Program Facilitator

Walking the Beat is a creative writing, theater, and multi-media workshop for students grades 9-12 and local police officers, designed to establish a groundwork for conversation and create real, achievable actions for specific communities across the country.

In the summer of 2020, at the height of Black Lives Matter protests against police brutality, structural racism, and white supremacy, 13 students and 7 local police officers from Elizabeth, NJ, participated in the program, committing to listening not to listen to agree. Due to COVID-19, this summer’s workshop took place on Zoom through a virtual social justice experience.

This is a special encore presentation screening of Walking the Beat 2020: An Emergency Convening, which uses theater, film, and spoken word to share some of our meaningful takeaways from this past summer. It is also the kick-off to the Elizabeth Youth Theater Ensemble’s end-of-year fundraiser campaign.
