Join us for a one-night only reading of Nikkole Salter and Danai Gurira’s IN THE CONTINUUM. Starring playwright Nikkole Salter and Woolly Mammoth Company Member Erika Rose, In the Continuum, is an OBIE award-winning and Pulitzer Prize nominated drama in monologue that puts a human face on the devastating impact of AIDS in Africa and America. Following the lives of two unforgettably courageous women living worlds apart—one in South Central Los Angeles and the other in Harare, Zimbabwe—you’ll experience a kaleidoscopic weekend of life changing revelations in this surprisingly comic story of parallel denials and self-discoveries..

Following the reading, stay for an important panel discussion that both celebrates the work of USAID alums in the audience, and highlights the critical impact the dismantling of USAID has both at home and abroad. “HIV/AIDS Research and Policy in a Post-USAID World” features former Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations and Deputy Executive Director of Programmes at the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) Dr. Shannon Hader; Director of Howard University’s Telehealth Training Center and expert in HIV curriculum development Dr. Goulda Downer; and President of The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation Dr. Doris Macharia.
