City Theatre Presents: Mr. Burns, A Post-Electric Play

City Theatre at Sacramento City College remounts Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play, the play that closed shortly after opening in March 2020 due the pandemic.

This imaginative dark comedy by Anne Washburn asks what will endure when the cataclysm arrives—when the grid fails, society crumbles, and we’re faced with the task of rebuilding? The play features music composed by Michael Friedman. Mr. Burns will be directed by Christine Nicholson with musical direction by Jonathan Blum. The production will be performed live by the actors at Sacramento City College and presented online in real-time for the audience. The production opens Thursday, September 30, and plays through Sunday, October 10. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and 2:00 p.m. on Sundays. Ticket prices are $15 General Admission and $10 for students. All details and tickets are available online at CityTheatre.net.

Let’s Talk About Race

Join Folsom Lake College for the Fall 2021 Racial Justice Book Circle as we read and discuss Ijeoma Oluo’s bestselling book, "So You Want to Talk About Race ." Protests against racial injustice and white supremacy have galvanized millions around the world. The stakes for transformative conversations about race could not be higher. Still, the task ahead seems daunting, and it’s hard to know where to start.

How do you tell your roommate her jokes are racist? Why did your sister-in-law take umbrage when you asked to touch her hair – and how do you make it right? How do you explain white privilege to your white, privileged friend? In "So You Want to Talk About Race," Ijeoma Oluo guides readers of all races through subjects ranging from intersectionality and affirmative action to "model minorities" in an attempt to make the seemingly impossible possible: honest conversations about race and racism, and how they infect almost every aspect of American life.

To accompany the book read, join your colleagues on Wednesdays, 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. via Zoom (starting Sept. 29) to review and discuss the concepts addressed. RSVP now.

Note: RSVP is not required, but this will help us gauge the size of the group to provide small groups for deep discussions and reflections. All Los Rios faculty and staff are welcome to participate. We hope you will join us as we continue our District’s commitment to cultivating a culture of anti-racism on our campuses!
