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 for the evening, selected by the Jewish Community Center will be:

• Caroline Saliman, Teacher at Har HaShem and the Boulder Jewish Community Center Preschool

• Naomi Feiman, Pediatrician & Founder of the Moral Minyan

• Elias Sacks, Associate Professor of Jewish Studies and Religious Studies, Director of Programing, Jewish Studies at the University of Colorado

• Bella Weksler, Fairview High School Junior, Social Action Vice President of the Boulder Temple Youth, and also on the leadership team for Net Zero at FH.

• Jon Wood, Knowledge Management at Kantar, Board Chairman at CU Boulder Hillel, a board member of the young professionals group Flatiron Tribe, Boulder JCC welcoming team and pre-school vision team, and volunteer at Congregation Bonai Shalom
