2025 is the time to be surrounded by the inspiring work of local organizations, artists, and educators from Cleveland amid a national dialogue. Join us for an inspiring three-day conference that explores the evolving landscape of theatre and education. From the changing of the theatrical guards to the shattering of harmful practices, the theatre and education fields have shifted rapidly into a more inclusive, dynamic, and just form. Yet our history matters. The voices of leaders with decades of experience matter. The foundations on which we build matter. What do we do with this push and pull? As we navigate the complexities of our art form, this conference aims to cultivate a dialogue about how we can honor our past while boldly stepping into the future. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or new to the field, you’ll find valuable perspectives and practical tools to enrich your teaching and practice.
