Each summer this festival of innovative theatre in Amherst, MA is curated on a theme such as “"Stories of Illness & Healing”," "Courage," or “"The Immigrant’s Journey.”" Performances are accompanied by facilitated discussions that contextualize the ideas presented in the work in an effort to engender inter-audience/artist exchange & opportunity for civic dialogue. We also offer 6-day workshops for adults, internships, & rehearsal residencies where individual artists or ensembles can develop new work.
