AUGUSTA — The Holocaust and Human Rights Center of Maine presents Judith Sloan’s one-woman show Yo Miss! at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 28, at the Michael Klahr Center, located on the campus of the University of Maine at Augusta.

Fusing the art of theatre, radio, poetry, and music, Judith Sloan’s Yo Miss! is a sometimes funny, sometimes sad, always truth-telling show about immigrant/refugee teenagers and incarcerated youth grappling with the cataclysmic events that shaped them.

Using midi-controllers and an original musical score to accompany her compelling performance, Sloan remixes her own traumatic experiences with those of her students and transforms into a multitude of characters ages 14 to 80.

Yo Miss! is presented by the HHRC in conjunction with its newest exhibit, Yearning to Breathe Free: The Immigrant Experience in Maine, open now through April 1 at the Klahr Center. Tickets are $15 for general admission, $10 for seniors and students and free for UMA students with ID. Tickets can be purchased online through brownpapertickets.com, by calling 207-621-3530 or at the door.
