Nadia
Question 1
I watched the play Nadia, an initiative of the local youth group at the Denver community center, in which focus lay on the challenges that face young women in an effort to fit into the society, earn an income, and make significant progress in charting their way forward for their career. The turn out was significant since the group had actively involved the community in raising funds for the project, and received significant support from the mayor. Most of the households were well represented at the community center, and the versatility of the message therein made it possible to speak to the diverse range of audience represented at the venue.
