The Future Within Us

How do you envision the future? What aspects of that world are already here? The Future Within Us kicks off the 5th Climate Change Theatre Action festival with original short plays that grapple with a changing world. Join the Arts & Climate Initiative for this funny, poetic, and poignant evening of theatre, music, and magic tricks!

Featuring original short plays by Nicolas Billon (Canada), Chantal Bilodeau (U.S.), Miranda Rose Hall (U.S.), Ethan King (Philippines), and Kevin Matthew Wong (Canada). Conceived by Chantal Bilodeau and Julia Levine. Directed by Britt Berke.

The Future Within Us is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature as well as with funds from Creative Engagement, a regrant program supported by The New York City Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA) in partnership with the City Council, and administered by LMCC.

We gratefully acknowledge the State of New York and The Puffin Foundation for their support of this project.

Climate Change Theatre Action is a worldwide festival of short plays about the climate crisis. CCTA 2023 runs from September 17 to December 23, 2023.

The Arts & Climate Initiative uses storytelling and live performance to foster dialogue about our global climate crisis, create an empowering vision of the future, and inspire people to take action.

Art Aia Creatives In Residence (AACIR) is happy to help CCTA to reach more artists and audiences.

Climate Change Theatre Action presents a rare opportunity for interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing the greatest challenge of our century. I am committed to spreading the word about this project, especially in Italy, and facilitating collaboration in order to help people build solidarity and reduce overall resistance to change.
