The Theatre Times: The work of Thalia Ranjbar may be challenging– pushing beyond norms and expectations, but at its core it is kind. Her gentle, but relentless commitment to community can be felt both in the content of her work as a playwright, lyricist and librettist, as well as her process as a director and choreographer drawn to developing new work. With a thoughtful curiosity she uses theater to explore the critical questions of our moment: What do we need in order to learn how to live together? When do we celebrate our traditions, and when must we forge our own new paths? How do we approach rupture in our relationships (be they familial, communal, or societal) and find compassionate ways forward?
