UndocuMonologues with Arturo O’Farrill marks the Denver launch of Motus Theater’s national podcast Shoebox Stories: UndocuAmerica series which is a unique “story-holding” podcast, where prominent Americans stand in the shoes of an undocumented person by reading aloud their story, saying their words and holding the weight they carry. Hear Jorge Ramos, Gloria Steinem, Nicholas Kristof, Maria Hinojosa, Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo and others read powerful stories from the front lines of immigration policy. Grammy award-winning musicians including Yo-Yo Ma, Arturo O'Farrill and others perform musical responses.
