News and Events

Join us for a FREE fall festival, The Art of Change: Discovering the Rhythms of Justice. Through playback theater, "concerts and conversation," poetry and spoken word, visiting artists will initiate dialogue and enable the Adams County community to examine personal biases and unjust systems. The juxtaposition of dialogue with music/theater will open our minds, bodies, and spirits, enabling us to fully engage in the challenging work of social justice. Through a series of free monthly events utilizing different artistic forms, we aim to build momentum and understanding to establish a strong foundation for the Adams County Unity Coalition.

Next Event: Koko Jones: Transitions: Rhythms and Reality. Wednesday, October 20 at 7 pm in the Kline Theatre at Gettysburg College. Master Drummer Koko Jones, supported by percussionists Babatunde Lea and Larry Turner perform a concert and conversation. While exploring the drumming traditions of the African Diaspora, Koko will share stories about the realities of establishing herself as a trans-woman of color. The event is free. Seats are available on a first come-first served basis. Learn more about the musical career of Koko (Kevin Bujo Jones) and The Story of Koko Jones.
