The Center for the Theater Commons: Why Emerson? Why Now?

HowlRound: I’ve been asked to reflect on The Center for the Theater Commons: why Emerson; why now; what’s the level of professional engagement?Before attempting answers to these questions, I want to celebrate what Arena Stage has done to bring us all to this juncture. It’s Arena’s originating vision and hospitality that launched many of the programs of the Theater Commons. As one of our flagship theatres, it provided the leadership to begin this effort, and that same leadership had the strength to see the value in this new association. Thank you, Arena Stage. And, thank you as well to The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for its foundational funding.
