While nations of the world are meeting in Germany to ratify trade deals related to Climate Change, performers in 40 of those nations will be spotlighting "the issue of our time." Climate Change Theater Action is a worldwide rapid response from the arts to this global issue, where awareness and action are imperative from humankind.
In St. Louis, theatrical impresario Joan Lipkin - founder of That
Uppity Theater Company - is teaming up with the
U.S. Green Building Council-Missouri Gateway Chapter and other
partners to present Playhouse Emissions, short plays and staged
readings, aiming to move the audience to action.
Lipkin's "uppity" creative courage and partnerships have staged productions about diverse issues in St. Louis and beyond for decades. Never shying from a tough topic, she talks with Earthworms host Jean Ponzi about the challenges she encountered, dealing with climate change as a dramatic focus.
St. Louis event details: Monday November 6, 7
pm; hosted at the Ethical Society of St. Louis, 9001 Clayton Road.
Admission is free, but
registration is required. In addition to performances by
leading local actors and dancers, environmental and social justice
groups will interact with attendees after the show, about
local-to-global action options.
Music: Deep Gap, performed live at KDHX by Marisa
