“This Is Water is not a play — it is an awakening. Rain Perry has created one of the most courageous pieces of dramatic storytelling I have encountered in my work as a historian and as Founding Director of the Racial Justice Initiative. It invites audiences into deep, necessary waters— where memory, accountability, and the possibility of repair converge. In a moment when so many are searching for honest conversation without performative posturing, This Is Water offers exactly what our campuses, nonprofits, and communities need right now: a path to clarity, courage, and connection. I recommend it without hesitation. Any institution committed to justice, belonging, and transformative learning should make space for this performance.”
