LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We recognize that the land on which we reside is the traditional territory of the Ute, Cheyenne, and Arapaho Peoples, and also recognize the 48 contemporary tribal nations that are historically tied to the lands that make up the state of Colorado. We recognize that Indigenous people have been displaced from their homelands and that U.S. public policy has been used to displace Indigenous communities, erode Tribal Nation sovereignty, and forcibly assimilate Native individuals into U.S. society. We must recognize Indigenous peoples as the original stewards of this land and as these words of acknowledgment are spoken and heard, remember the ties these nations still have to their traditional homelands. Let us acknowledge the painful history of genocide and forced removal from this territory and pay our respect to the diverse Indigenous peoples still connected to this land. Let us also give thanks to all Tribal Nations and the ancestors of this place.

EQUITY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

While And Toto too has spent the last 16 year lifting up the woman playwright we recognize that we still have work to do with our BIPOC women artists and look forward to that work and the journey it will take us on.

She would also like to give special thanks to her director, Susan, for giving her the opportunity to create and explore in a safe environment. Thanks must also go to her family and friends for being right by her side every step of the way as she continues to figure out life just as Zelda is.

Jeff Jesmer is very excited to share this experience with a live audience. Thank you for supporting live theatre in our community. Jeff works around Denver as a Set Builder/designer and as an Actor. He hopes you enjoy the evening and wishes that you spread the word of this and other live theatre around Denver.

He lives in Denver with his wife, sons, and their two dogs, and is also the co-founder of the leading B2B customer reference company Point of Reference.
