This season we’re serving up four stories that fight to be unsilenced. From a confrontation 15 years in the making, to the conversation that divides our nation, to the greatest of escapes, and bold faced defiance, the theme of liberation is the bedrock our upcoming work, and it reflects a pivotal moment in our own journey as a theatre company. As we continue to serve as a vital, daring voice in the Savannah, we are embracing stories that actively break chains of silence, of oppression, of the past, and of outdated narratives. #JoinTheLiberation!
