“That is why I think this effort that The Lab is doing today is so critical…the power of performance, the power of storytelling, and the power of narrative, are absolutely essential. In my mind, they are some of the only things that can actually have an influence on the political dialogue in this very, very peculiar moment in the politics of the United States and Europe.”
“The Lab brings policy experts, employees from the State Department and embassies, American and global theater practitioners, students, and community members that can speak firsthand to the experiences you’re depicting on stage all in the same room-commenting and asking questions of your piece. There is no place besides The Lab that can create a conversation on a play like this. It was invaluable.”
“[The Lab’s] goal is to put a human face on global politics…The nuts and bolts of it is to put people in a room from wildly diverse beliefs, political postures, cultural identities, and have them reckon with these issues that impact millions of lives today.”
