Climate Theater

---

Working together under a Capital Region Creative Corps grant, Short Center Repertory, InnerVision Theater and Theater V58 are creating theatrical productions that explore the climate crisis from the perspectives of people with neurological and sensory challen

Actors with neurological conditions in Short Center Rep’s production use theatrical clown technique to express the human emotions surrounding the climate crisis. They recently preformed at EARTHDAY SACRAMENTO 2024.

At InnerVision Theater, actors who are blind or have low vision are using Brazilian theater practitioner Augusto Boal’s “theater of the oppressed” to create an original production that examines the limitations of current emergency preparedness procedures. 

Theater V58 is examining the climate crisis and our fragile natural environment through an original cabaret-style production with monologue, comedy, poetry, music and film presented in American Sign Language and English.
