Stereotyped 101: Karith Foster
Time: 6:00 p.m.
Location: CAC Theater
Cost: Free!
There’s perhaps no field in which stereotypes are more omnipresent than comedy. Karith Foster, however, uses comedy to interrogate stereotypes with a zeal for truth that nevertheless finds humor around every corner. Foster throws down the gauntlet on social issues from racism to size-ism during her “Stereotyped 101” program, which is geared towards both making the audience laugh and challenging the beliefs other comedy bits often reinforce. Split your sides and challenge your beliefs at this awesome free event this Thursday at the CAC Theatre.
