COMMUNITY BASED PLAYS
community based plays
Community-based Plays are a cornerstone of Civic Ensemble programming. Through an 18 month to 2 year process, community members come together in story circles and facilitated community workshops to create a new play around a topic that is meaningful to them. The process culminates with public performances and community dialogue - bringing the conversations back out to the community where they began.
Civic Ensemble is embarking on our next community-based play journey. Listening deeply in our local community, we are hearing stories of changing neighborhoods, a housing crisis, and questioning what it means to belong. Join us as we explore these stories and questions toward the development of a new play.
Want to get involved? Stay tuned for information on a new workshop series this winter. More information coming soon.
