Neighborhood Theatre Project
"In theatre we see people who are not the same as us, feeling things that are not necessarily what we feel, doing things that we probably would not do. And yet we connect. We connect in empathy. Theatre teaches us, helps us to live in a world of difference. The only world is a world of difference. A world without difference is a consoling illusion that sells products to consumers."
The Neighborhood Theatre Project is a collaboration between actor and theatre maker Julia Schoenberg and myself -- our vision is to create original theatre pieces based on conversations with real people, and in fact using their real words as the text of the developed piece.
We are currently in the pre-production and research phase for our first show
