Description

When Collaboraction opened its doors 25 years ago, they had no idea just how much their theater would change throughout the years. Having worked with around 3,000 artists on more than 60 productions, the Chicago-based theater was determined to continue its work of creating inclusive productions that inspire social change during the pandemic. Putting together virtual productions and discussions, the theater sparked much-needed discussions about race during the height of the BLM protests last summer. We look back at the theater’s history and on how much it has evolved with Collaboraction’s Anthony Moseley and Dr. Marcus Robinson.

Guests: Anthony Moseley, Artistic Director, Collaboraction (@AnthonyMoseley)
Dr. Marcus Robinson, Executive Director, Collaboraction (@4MarcusRobinson)
