For Youth, Theatre is Action

The Theatre Times: Over the past two years, I have had the privilege of inviting a group of teenagers in Canada, ages 13-17, to consider theatre as a possible means of fighting for climate action. These ten youth, Natasha Knight, Anna Carsley-Jones, Sebastien Cimpaye, Sophie Dean, Quinn Lesaux, Jaya Matiation, Olivia Smith, Ethan Whidden, Kaatje Yates, and Paige Young, are all driven by their love for the planet – and are deeply concerned about a future they feel they have inherited.
