The show is part of a larger on-going effort by All One Under the Sun to create a remedy to racism campaign using the arts to promote social inclusion, connection, belonging and empowerment of young people within our local community. This free show will be performed at the Jetty Theatre in Coffs Harbour on Tuesday 21 and Wednesday 22 March, with three daytime shows for schools, and an evening performance for the public at 7pm on 21 March. The screening of a ten-minute documentary about young people’s experience of racism in Coffs Harbour will accompany the show, followed by a facilitated Q and A session to unpack the play’s themes and the importance of bystander intervention. “We encourage community members to come along to ‘Stand Up Stand By’ and learn from these brave young performers as they share their passion for making our beautiful community of Coffs Harbour an inclusive and safe place for everyone,” Naomi Steinborner, Project Coordinator, All One Under the Sun told News Of The Area. In addition to the shows in Coffs Harbour, the ‘Stand Up, Stand By’ theatre show will also travel to Parramatta in Sydney, where the students will be performing at the Riverside Theatre on Tuesday 28 March. All One Under the Sun is funded by the NSW Government through Multicultural NSW, led by STARTTS with support from Blue Sky Community Services, Coffs Harbour City Council, Coffs Harbour and District Local Aboriginal Land Council and headspace Coffs Harbour.
