The Work That Sustains Us: Theatre and the Environment
This year’s theme revolves around the connections between theatre and environmental sustainability. What is the theatre’s role in environmental sustainability? How has theatre and performance responded to climate change? What methods has the theatre industry used to provoke thought about this important topic, and how has it modeled change? This year’s keynote is Pulitzer Prize-finalist Lisa D’Amour, whose work has often focused on the theatre’s role in both social and physical environments. At 7 pm: The first concert reading of Middleground, a new musical by Michael Hollinger and Robert Maggio
