A Note From the Director of the Theatre Program

 

When we make theater and performance, can we infuse every

choice and action with diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, joy,

and liberation? As artists in the theater, we process, reflect,

disrupt, and make culture. Our justice work can be embedded in

everything we do. We have the opportunity to point at the

problems, embody empathy, and construct futures every time

we enter a classroom, lab, rehearsal room, creative meeting,

and performance. We not only create stories; we build critical

space to be fully engaged with each other.

 

Now more than ever, I believe our society is actively searching
for places to gather, reflect, and build better and more sustainable futures. We as theater and performance makers can offer some of those gathering spaces; stories and situations for reflection; and speculative actions to inspire.

Below is our adapted remote season offering us unique perspectives on the actions of assembly and togetherness in this physically distant time.
