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.

Readers selected for the evening by the League of Women Voters will be:

• Lauren Modery, Author

• Jeanette Hillery, League Member since 1993, Volunteer Lobbyist for the League

• Emma Pillera, Legislative Aide and Campaign Manager for State House Representative, Sonya Jaquez Lewis, 2019 CU Grad

• Kay Palmer Marsh, Reverend Doctor at Fort Lupton United Methodist Church
