***A portion of ticket sale proceeds will go towards Project 350 Chicago, an organization that is "standing up to the fossil fuel industry to stop all new coal, oil and gas projects and build clean energy for all."
Climate scientists estimate we have fifteen years to decarbonize the economy if we want to stave off the worst impacts of climate change. The time for action is now.
But action requires a hopeful vision of the future. We are asking, How can we turn the challenges of climate change into opportunities?
Climate Change Theatre Action (CCTA) is a worldwide series of readings of short climate change plays presented biennially in support of the United Nations Conference of the Parties. This year, in October and November, CCTA events will take place in over 40 countries in the world and in all 50 states in the US.
CCTA playwrights come from every inhabited continent on the globe. Some are from low-lying island nations threatened by sea level rise, others are from countries facing severe heatwaves, floods, or droughts. Some are recent migrants, some inhabit the country their ancestors chose or were brought to, and many live on and fiercely protect the land where they were born. Together, their stories aim to invigorate our imaginations, encouraging us to dream of the possibility of an alternate future.
