We the People First Friday features community-centered performances and exhibits that represent the great mosaic of Lancaster and beyond with genres as diverse as our nation! FREE and open to the public. No tickets required.

Teatro Paloma – Fade

6:30 p.m. | Steinman Hall | When Lucia, a Mexican-born novelist, gets her first TV writing job, she feels a bit out of place on the white male-dominated set. Lucia quickly becomes friends with the only other Latino around, a janitor named Abel. As Abel shares his stories with Lucia, similar plots begin to find their way into the TV scripts that Lucia writes. A play about class and race within the Latinx community and beyond—and how status does not change who you are at your core.

“Tabletop Still Lifes” by Douglas Anderson

6-8 p.m. | Regitz Gallery | Showing the transient nature of life, the still life captures a fleeting moment in time that will never be seen the same way again. Using acrylic on canvas, Douglas Anderson takes traditional still-life subjects and infuses them with his own sense of humor. On display until October 25.
