Spark Empathy and Action through Theatre

Summary
Since 1997, this interactive theatre/dialogue program has effectively challenged audiences to explore their own biases and to develop empathy for others. The themes in the Compassion Plays series are universal and the characters are relatable. Since the change in the US government in 2017, the themes in these plays have new relevance. There is an urgent need for safe and productive conversations about identity, stereotypes, xenophobia, racism and personal responsibility for change.
