A Sacred Passage is an original performance piece devised by the five core artists of Full Circle from their personal journeys into theater.  The artists/playwrights are Rick Shiomi, James Williams, Martha Johnson, Lara Trujillo, and Stephanie Lein Walseth.  Their stories embody the challenges and transformational experiences they have had in becoming theater artists and how their lives and work reflect the huge changes in our theater community over the past two decades.

This piece incorporates acting, storytelling, choreography, and music.  This is the debut production of Full Circle Theater, and it has been created and shaped in the downstairs of the East Side Freedom Library.  It will have its full production run at Dreamland Arts in Saint Paul.

The mission of Full Circle Theater Company is to produce heartfelt groundbreaking theater that artfully addresses issues of diversity and social justice for 21st century audiences.  One of their core values is to produce theater that is multiracial and multicultural in its representation of life, and theater that is deeply inclusive of artists of color who share in the artistic leadership of the company.  They also value theater that is deeply aware of feminist perspectives and that incorporates intergenerational artistic collaboration.
