Open Door Theater President Sam Gould conceived of an event called the “Ask Me Fair” in 2019, to combat some of the personal antisemitism, ableism and racism that her family and friends experienced in our community. “There is so much othering that occurs in our community and, frankly, it is getting worse and not better,” Gould said in a press release and on the event’s registration page. “So Sargent Memorial Library, Open Door Theater, Think Outside The Vox and Acton Boxborough United Way have joined forces to produce the 3rd ‘Ask Me Fair’, to occur on Friday, May 31 at the Sargent Memorial Library, 427 Massachusetts Ave., Boxborough. This event is designed to be a safe space for intentional and respectful conversations with presenters from a diverse range of backgrounds, and a space to ask questions from a genuine place of curiosity and desire to learn about one another.” Invited presenters for the 2024 event include a legally blind bioengineering professor, Dr. Mona Minkara.
