The St. Louis stop of a national tour to raise awareness of the genocide in Darfur has been booked to capacity. Voices From Darfur, a speaking tour of Darfuri refugees is scheduled at SLU's Busch Center tonight, but every one of the 310 open seats has been reserved. Labels: Events
"We had so much interest that we had to take reservations," says Cecilia Nadal of Gitana Productions, the event's local sponsor. "We booked every seat...it's a good problem it have."
The event will feature stories of genocide told by those who lived them. While the purpose is to raise awareness, groups will be on hand to take donations.
Gitana Productions are sponsoring Voices From Darfur in preparation of an original play they will present next year. Written by St. Louis Lee Patton Chiles, the play will be based entirely on true stories from Darfur.
