Join industry professionals in an engaging conversation on where we are now, where we are headed, and what we can do to engage in collective action. How are we to train future generations of theatre and performance artists if the arts are being decimated across the country? Where do we find our voice? Featuring Alisha Tonsic, co-leader at Theatre Communications Group; Gregg Henry, artistic director for the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival; and Michael Rohd, activist, scholar-aritst, educator with the Civic Imagination Lab and University of Montana.

An advocate for the field of theatre and performance in higher education, the Association for Theatre in Higher Education (ATHE) serves as an intellectual and artistic center for producing new knowledge about theatre and performance-related disciplines, cultivating vital alliances with other scholarly and creative disciplines, linking with professional and community-based theatres, and promoting access and equity.

Whether in-person or virtual, the annual ATHE conference brings together a global community of educators, artists, and administrators over a week of intense days of workshops, panel presentations, plenary sessions, social events, and performances. ATHE provides its membership with the latest in theatre and innovation, at the forefront of theatre practice and pedagogy.
