Join us for a pre-show panel discussion with People of Color Outdoors as part of BIPOC Affinity Night programming for A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Learn how POCO serves as a healing space and enriching community where members feel safe, welcome, cared about, and truly seen.

The panel discussion will be hosted by Pamela Slaughter (People of Color Outdoors), Darryl Ramsey (Outdoor Afro) and Juan Munoz (Latino Outdoors) sharing videos and photos from their groups and talking about their work in the community.

Guests in attendance will receive complimentary beer from Deschutes Brewery while supplies last!

This event is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

All people who self identify as BIPOC, and their guests, are specifically invited to attend. Though no one will be turned away, it is encouraged that folks outside of the BIPOC community join us on another night!

Thank you to our partners! Enjoy complimentary beverages provided by our generous Affinity Night partners, Multnomah Whiskey Library and Deschutes Brewery.
