Culture Crawl 698 “Bring Down The Power Hammer”

“Niceties” is a play at Riverside Theatre tackling. among other topics, one that is in our daily headlines today, teaching issues of race in American history in the classroom.

Jody Hovland, founding artistic director at Riverside, returns to the stage (which actually is a new stage, of course, in Riverside’s new venue), and acts opposite Crystal Marie Stewart, who coincidentally is not just acting but is also on the Riverside staff.

“Niceties” is not just about politics, but about how people use and are used by power, and how we manage conflict in work and social situations.

Running through March 27. www.riversidetheatre.org.
