ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE THEATRE ACTION
The Climate Change Theatre Action (CCTA) is a worldwide project involving the commissioning of 50 short plays from around the world on various topics of Climate Change Action with performances presented world wide as reading and fully staged production from September 15th through December 21st 2019 to coincide with the United Nations Santiago Climate Conference meetings. Using stories to bring communities together and encourage them to take local and global action on climate change initiatives, the project is modeled on previous NoPassport theatre actions focused on gun control (After Orlando) and the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon BP oil spill, CCTA draws on the expertise and resources of local artists, while being global in scope and uniting multiple countries around a common issue.
