zAmya Theater Project uses creativity, collaboration and community-based theater to build understanding and connection between people who've experienced homelessness and those who have not.  2020 is our third year in residence at Hennepin County Library leading Creative Expression Sessions for patrons experiencing homelessness and allies. Workshops are a source of connection and and creativity as well as being ways we generate material and meet new people for zAmya Theater Productions. zAmya's current project is Homeless Network NewZ (HNN).  Workshop participants will be invited to join us in creating content for HNN.
