Hold These Truths
2026-01-31 19:30 - 21:00, 2026-01-31 14:00 - 16:00 (America/Denver) | Armory Performing Arts Center, 300 Strong Street, Brighton, CO, 80601, United States
Hold These Truths is a powerful and inspiring drama based on the true story of Gordon Hirabayashi, a Japanese American who courageously challenged the injustice of Japanese American internment during World War II. The play follows Hirabayashi’s journey from a young student to a principled activist, as he faces impossible choices, legal battles, and the weight of standing up for what is right in the face of widespread prejudice.​
Through compelling performances and carefully crafted storytelling, the play explores themes of courage, identity, justice, and the cost of moral conviction. Audiences can expect an emotionally resonant experience that challenges them to reflect on history, the resilience of the human spirit, and the ongoing importance of standing up for truth and equality.

Through Mindfulness Meditation techniques, we will tap into the creative sweet spot where you are the architect of your reality. Exploring the purest forms of your imagination requires letting go of thoughts that limit the possibilities of creation. Our thoughts can trigger negative emotions that leave us with the feeling of being casualties of our circumstances, instead of exploring the wonders of our imagination. By not relying solely on seeking validation from people, places and things; which we have no control over, we can create our own validation through our art that comes from a place of compassion and love for ourselves. Mindfulness Meditation is a great tool in practicing to redirect our attention to our inner gifts and talents. Creating art is a way to channel those unique gifts and talents into your physical reality.
