Theater as an Agent of Social Change

Part of the My Thoughts My Voice My Art Series

Produced & Moderated by Paul Lasakow

Panelists:

• Philip Crosby, Richmond Triangle Players
• Dr. Tawnya Pettiford-Wates, Virginia Commonwealth University & The Conciliation Project
• Tom Quaintance, Virginia Stage Company
• Deborah Wallace, Old Dominion University

Through tragedy, comedy and scathing satire, for thousands of years Theater has held up a mirror to the world. Drawing on the vast individual and collective experience of our accomplished panelists, we will engage on how and where the art form can both reflect society and help propel it toward justice and equity for all.

Questions and comments from the audience may be submitted through the YouTube livestream chat function.
