A Spanish-language play about diabetes seeks to raise community awareness

KING COUNTY, WA – An idea proposed by a local participant of a monthly REACH diabetes support group is being made into a Spanish-language community play to raise awareness about diabetes among the local Latino population.

The play, Tres Historias de la Vida, (Three Life Stories), will be Saturday, November 18^th  at 2 p.m. at the Rainier Valley Cultural Center, 3515 S. Alaska Street, Seattle, WA 98118.  The play is free and open to the public.

Tres Historias de la Vida portrays the lives of three people with diabetes and their relationships with family and friends.  Using Liberation Theater technique developed by Augusto Boal, the play relies on audience participation, empowering individuals to find ways to change their own lives. 

The play is written by Lupita Patterson and the acting is done by community volunteers from SeaMar’s REACH diabetes support group.  

Sponsors of this showing are the King County REACH (Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health) 2010 Coalition, Sea Mar Community Health Centers, Public Health - Seattle & King County, Steps to Health King County, Consejo, Puget Sound Neighborhood Health Centers, Southeast Effective Development and the University of Washington’s Health Promotion Research Center.
