Climate Change Theatre Action

Theatre and dance students will join together for Climate Change Theatre Action, an evening of immersive theatrical performance taking over UW–Madison’s Science Hall! This global event started when 50 playwrights from every continent wrote powerful five-minute plays directly exploring and responding to pertinent climate change issues.

UW–Madison students will perform five of these pieces as audience members follow them in and out of the rooms of Science Hall. The performance will culminate in a panel with UW–Madison scientists Dr. Ankur Desai, Dr. Jessica Hua, and Dr. Jonathan Patz on climate change and performance.

If you have any questions, email event producer Anna Novak at novak22@wisc.edu.

Hosted by UW–Madison Theatre and Drama and UW–Madison Dance.
