SPECIAL EVENT
"Healing is an Act of Communion" The great bell hooks said: "Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation, healing is an act of communion." How can theater, perhaps the most collaborative and community-driven of art forms, and we as theatremakers -- in the midst of the pandemic and an intense, ongoing, and necessary reckoning -- truly use the form's powers (both live and virtually) for good, and encourage a polestar for catharsis and healing? How can we be attentive to the hurts of the current moment, while also recognizing a call to arms?
