"Today the Archive told Me" is a theatrical exploration of Theatre for Youth (TFY) inspired by the artifacts contained within the ASU Child Drama Collection. It is part oral history, part drama and part remembrance that combines tapes of interviews, photographs and videos with a script devised and performed by an ensemble of young artists. It celebrates the preservation of the history of TFY while also encouraging youth to respond to the past by creating new work from their own perspective.

The ASU Library acknowledges the twenty-two Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. Arizona State University's four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. ASU Library acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. We are advocates for the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies within contemporary library practice. ASU Library welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to the Library.
