Gym, Theater Dedicated to Drew Esquivel

Racial debate on The 222 stage
Fair warning that this is the sort of play to which audience members will want to bring tissues. It is not a fluffy play by any means, forcing its audience to listen carefully and think deeply about difficult topics.

The Healdsburg High School varsity football team is ready to turn the page.
