The Arabian Nights is a full-length drama adapted for the stage by Mary Zimmerman from Powys Mather’s translation of The Book of Thousand Nights and One Night. Passionate, playful, provocative storytelling, The Arabian Nights examines the fascinating tale of Scheherazade. In the wake of discovering his queens infidelity cruel King Shahryar has soured on all womankind. Then theres no one left but clever Scheherazade. Can her 1001 cliffhanger stories keep her alive?
The Arabian Nights tells the tale of Scheherezades nightly telling of evocative tales. 1001 nights later the storyteller and listener are forever changed. A twelve-member cast enacts Scheherazade’s tales of love, lust, comedy, and dreams. Scheherazade’s cliffhanger stories prevent her husband, the cruel ruler Shahryar, from murdering her, and after 1,001 nights, Shahryar is cured of his madness, and Scheherazade returns to her family. This adaptation offers a wonderful blend of the lesser-known tales from Arabian Nights with the recurring theme of how the magic of storytelling holds the power to change people. The final scene brings the audience back to a modern day Baghdad with the wail of air raid sirens threatening the rich culture and history that are embodied by these tales.

February is Black History Month in the United States. Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by Black and African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. The event was the brainchild of historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans and has been officially recognized since 1976. To illuminate our commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Shoreline CC will be providing a host of events to educate and celebrate black culture. A schedule of opportunities will be sent to the college early next week and we hope the entire college community will participate to learn more about traditions, barriers and opportunities to better serve our students.
Our first highlight to kick off Black History Month is:
Ellen Garrison Clark, a Black anti-slavery activist, civil rights advocate, and educator. Ms. Ellen Garrison Clark was born free in Concord, Mass., on April 24, 1823, owned by no one. She used her position to travel throughout the South for many years, teaching former slaves to read and write. Ms. Clark protected her citizenry with a passport, which confirmed her status as a free woman. Shoreline CC encourages you to explore more about Ellen Garrison Clark and her extensive contributions that advanced the lives of thousands of Black people.

Dear Campus Community,
It is with great sadness that we send this email. Throughout the country, people are reeling from the news and video release about Tyre Nichols. Mr. Nichols, a 29-year-old black man was hospitalized after a brutal and violent arrest by police officers three weeks ago in Memphis, TN. Mr. Nichols died three days ago as a result of injuries that occurred during the arrest. The video footage is incredibly alarming and disturbing to watch. Five officers from the African American community who were on the scene have been fired and face criminal charges for Mr. Nichols’ death. Words cannot capture the tragedy of this situation; particularly given the re-traumatization many will likely experience as these events against the BIPOC community continue to occur.
This event, coupled with the recent shootings, indicates a continued and vigilant need to reach out and support our BIPOC College community.
Shoreline’s Office of Safety & Security remains committed to the ongoing safety and support of our campus and particularly our BIPOC community, by providing an environment where all feel safe and welcome. Through ongoing training and connection with our campus, the Security Team will continue to foster an engaged partnership with colleagues, students, and campus visitors.
As part of our continued community outreach, we have initiated conversations with Safety & Security Director Greg Cranson and Shoreline Police Chief Kelly Park. Through this connection, Shoreline will be coordinating activities and events which support the safety of our diverse community with more information provided to campus as details are finalized. We will provide thorough and timely updates and information related to this initiative.
Healing Circles this Monday, January 30th, 2023:
During times of racialized violence, it is crucial that there is an opportunity for community support within that community. Tyre Nichols is from the Sacramento area of California and Dr. Debra Crumpton, President of the Los Rios Black Faculty and Staff Association, who is also from the Sacramento area sent a message to the Los Rios community that warrants sharing an excerpt.
Undoubtedly, there will be many characterizations of what the police bodycam video reveals about the actions of the five Black police officers who have been charged with numerous criminal offenses, which include second-degree murder. One of the questions that will likely emerge and be much debated is, “How could five Black policemen do this to another Black male?”
The answer is institutional racism. These officers were not simply five Black men who happened to be police officers. They were police officers who happened to be Black.
Institutional racism embeds racist narratives so deeply and insidiously that it has the power to effectively deny a person his or her individual identity, sense of humanity, and recognition of self.
Shoreline will hold a campus healing space on Monday afternoon to provide support and next steps.
All Campus (coordinated by Melanie Dixon & Aisha Hauser)

Robert Britten, President of the Diversity Equity Officers (DEO) Commission for the State reminded all CEOs in a letter yesterday that “we have all been impacted by ongoing and escalating gun violence, hate in various forms and police violence against and within communities of color. This is not to imply that all our impacts are the same, but to highlight the disparate impact on communities of color, DEOs, and practitioners in this space.”
For this reason, will also create separate spaces for folks to caucus during the week as needed to support those directly impacted by these events (African/Black/API etc.). We will be sending information about those events as they develop in the next few days.
Please know that we have additional resources available to both students and employees to counsel you through any potential emotional distress from this event.
