A MILE IN MY SHOES - - Join Ester, an omniscient shoe whisperer, as she walks us through a day in her life on Skid Row. We meet a vagabond of characters: a transgender teen, a young mom, a mentally ill substance abuser, a high school valedictorian, a police officer, concerned citizens at a city council meeting, and others. The show is a mix of poetry, drama, and comedy in the consciousness-raising theater. Creator Kathryn Taylor Smith portrays over 19 characters inspired by research and personal interviews with past and present members of the homeless community in LA as well as those who advocate for them. This socially conscious and socially relevant piece speaks to the audience from a raw, uncensored, unapologetic perspective. It will compel you to do more, to be better, and to act kinder to your homeless brethren; not because they are homeless, but simply because they are human. DONATIONS TO THE HOMELESS: Toiletry items and/or Shoes (new or gently used) will be collected and
