Party for the Girls: The Other Side Winterfest Festival at Brooklyn Brewery
After a year of scandals, this seems like a particularly good time for a party honoring an organization helping girls from Brooklyn to India to learn the value of education and self-respect.
The Other Side’s fourth annual Winterfest will take place on Monday, Dec. 11 with festivities at Brooklyn Brewery.
The Other Side is a cross-cultural exchange of dramatic storytelling between girls from India, Israel and other countries, including the U.S. It works “like pen pals. But with theater,” said Brooklyn resident Melanie Closs, program director and founder of The Other Side Intercultural Theatre. Through “drama exchange,” girls develop strong friendships and learn to stand up for themselves and each other.
