Shoebox Stories is a story-holding project where you stand in another person’s shoes by reading aloud their story, saying their words, and holding, for a moment, the weight that they carry.

Motus Theater will celebrate and recognize Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s fight for equality and civil rights this year by asking local leaders in Boulder County to stand in other people’s shoes. Shoebox Stories pairs Motus’ undocumented monologists with prominent Boulderites to amplify their stories and host a community conversation around immigration, the DACA + DREAMer programs and how, by standing in another’s shoes, we expand our understanding of what it means to be human.

Student readers selected by the Youth Opportunities Advisory Board are:

• Ricardo “Rango” Reyes, Senior, Boulder High

• Minya Ravisankar, Senior, Fairview High

• Elizabeth Wood, Junior, Shining Mountain School

• Diego Smet, Junior, Fairview High School
