6:30 PM  –  8:00 PM

In partnership with The Ensemble Theatre, Holocaust Museum Houston's Friends of Boniuk Library and young professionals group, NEXTGen, invites you to Acting Empathy: An Evening with The Ensemble Theatre. This special event celebrating Black History Month will feature a scene from The Green Book and a discussion lead by Dr. Jesse Esparza, Assistant Professor of History at Texas Southern University.

Inspired by Victor Hugo Green’s historical “The Negro Motorist Green Book,” The Green Book takes place during a weekend when the Davis’ are celebrating the arrival of Dr. W. E. B. DuBois for a lecture. The appearance of a white visitor, who turns out to be a Jewish Holocaust survivor, sets off a chain of events that shows that racism and anti-Semitism cannot be ignored. The Green Book was written by award-winning author Calvin Alexander Ramsey and directed by award-winning director Shirley Jo Finney. The Green Book performances at The Ensemble Theatre run through Sunday, February 23. For a 20% ticket discount, please use code TETHMH20.

Admission to Acting Empathy: An Evening with The Ensemble Theatre is free and open to the public, but advance registration is required. For more information, please contact Rocio Rubio, Corporate Relations Officer, at rrubio@hmh.org or 713-527-1838.
