The One Truthiness
Friday, May 4, 2018 AND Saturday, May 5, 2018
8 - 10 PM
BUY TICKETS
Audiences say:
"It’s about starting the most important conversation of our generation."
"A completely new way to experience what it is to be human."
"Mind-blowing"
The quarterly series continues with an entirely new show.
What were you taught in school?
What did you learn?
Live performance. Live painting. and YOU tell the story.
The One Truthiness starts from the perspective that we each have our own Truth. Our own reality. Our own normal. But none of us can have the Whole Truth without each other. We are all in the picture together. What does that picture look like?
Come see who has been standing next to you the whole time. What can't you see from where you stand? The One Truthiness — a completely new view of the Town. Voices that are rarely in the room together are brought into conversation in The One Truthiness.

Association Building Community presents Peace Practices -- Aikido 2.0 and Conflict Done Well
All levels are welcome - Click Here for more Class Information
An RSVP is required. Email administration@abcglobal.net or call, toll free: (866) 236-0346 and leave a message.
Aikido 2.0 introduces language within the physical techniques of the martial art of aikido, so students may practice effective physical self-defense and redirective language at the same time and under pressure. Those who continue learn Martial Nonviolence, which adds elements of improvisation and facilitation to Aikido 2.0 so that practitioners may become conflict professionals, paid instructors in the Peace Practices project, and apply Conflict Done Well in any situation.
