ABOUT OAK CREEK SIKH TEMPLE SHOOTING MAKES ITS MILWAUKEE DEBUT </strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">After a critically acclaimed run in Los Angeles, <strong>RAG HEAD </strong>makes its Milwaukee debut at the Broadway Theatre Center on August 3<sup>rd</sup> & 4<sup>th</sup> to benefit the Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee and to honor the seven-year remembrance of the victims and families affected by Oak Creek Sikh Temple shooting. The show explores Sikhs and xenophobia in a post 9/11 America. Inspired by actual events, Sundeep Morrison’s one woman show, RAG HEAD, addresses hate, hope and American identity.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Performances are at 1:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 3,<br>
and 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 4.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">On August 5, 2012, a white supremacist entered a Sikh temple in Oak Creek and murdered six people. Sundeep Morrison’s portrays seven inextricably linked characters whose lives are forever changed by one hateful act.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Since 9/11, there has been an alarming increase in hate crimes committed against Sikhs, Muslims and other immigrant communities. With their turbans and long beards, Sikhs have become targets in the United States. According to the Sikh Coalition, there are roughly 500,000 Sikhs in the U.S., many of whom have been subject to xenophobic harassment or violence.</span></span></p>
