This Brain Café will feature three films by Everett youth, Pink Matter, What Is Love, and Line of Scrimmage, which are about the daily struggles youth face with friends and family regarding their sexuality. This Brain Café series is part of Everett Company’s research and development process in creating a new work, entitled Good Grief. The films and short presentation will be followed by a dialogue with the audience around the issue of trauma.

This Event is free and open to the public!
