Motus Playback Theater: Immigrant Heritage Edition

What’s your immigrant heritage story?

People move. Across borders, across time, across generations, across the country. Whether your family journeyed here recently or long ago, we all carry stories of movement, resilience, and change.

In honor of Immigrant Heritage Month, Motus Playback Theater invites you to an evening of improvisational theater where your story—or your grandparent’s, or great-great-great-uncle’s—takes center stage. Share a short reflection or memory, and watch as a diverse cast of professional improv actors brings it to life through music, movement, and powerful storytelling.

No pressure to speak—your presence builds community. Whether you share or simply listen, join us in a joyful, moving celebration of the immigrant heritage that shapes us all.

Let’s laugh, reflect, and connect—one story at a time.

Art Exhibition - UndocuAmerica: Reclaiming our Presence

Motus Theater’s UndocuAmerica: Reclaiming Our Presence Denver visual art exhibition invites visitors to engage with art that centers undocumented community members’ stories through a wide variety of mediums including photography, illustrations, films, and animations. At a time when people who are undocumented are often demonized as “other” for political gain, the art in this exhibit invites us to look past our differences and find our shared humanity. Regardless of individual beliefs about immigration policy, this project allows visitors to learn more about the impact of these policies on the lives of undocumented families.
