Please join us in celebrating what we have accomplished together!

Thanks to your help, we are proud to welcome you to the Grand Opening of Mikwanedun Audisookon with a Donor Reception and Premier Performance.

The evening program will include dance and poetry performed by Ikidowin Youth Theater Ensemble, including scenes from our new play Invisible Shadows, performed by the Keep the Fire Alive interns in the first use of our Theater. Invisible Shadows is an honest and hopeful depiction of what it is like to grow up in the Southside, thru the Metro surge and an Opioid epidemic, underscoring the significance of IPTF's programs and Mikwanedun Audisookon as a healing space for our community.

We can think of no better way to thank you and to share the impact you have made by supporting this building project than sharing the story of Invisible Shadows.

Doors open at 6:00.

Enjoy hors d'oeuvres prepared in our new kitchen and tour our new spaces for gathering, healing, and receiving services.

Performance begins at 7:00

Invisible Shadows tells the story of the young people in South Minneapolis and their relationships to each other, to their families, and relatives who are addicted. As the young people are supported in a fictionalized version of the Ikidowin program, they learn about who they are and where they are from, finding their way through their circumstances. This human story is essential for understanding the opioid crisis that affects us all and underlies the crisis of unsheltered people in our community. Written by Sharon Day, the play includes poetry by our interns. Directed by Sir Curtis Kirby III.
