Collision Project gives students new platform

A diverse group of 20 students from high schools all over Greater Atlanta are about to experience a head-on collision. The Alliance Theatre's Palefsky Collision Project is a three-week program that pushes teens out of their comfort zone and onto a stage of creativity and community by allowing them to re-envision a classic text and bring that performance to the stage. The 16th Palefsky Collision Project's text is Congressman John Lewis's graphic novel March. The public is invited to see the Collision performance on stage at the Center for Civil and Human Rights on Friday, July 28 and Saturday, July 29.  The tickets are free, but RSVPs are required.
