Congratulations to Jackie Sibblies Drury for winning the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for her play Fairview ! The Pulitzer committee praised Fairview as a “hard-hitting drama that examines race in a highly conceptual, layered structure, ultimately bringing audiences into the actors’ community to face deep-seated prejudices.” TCG Books is thrilled to announce the forthcoming publication of Fairview in July. TCG Books will also be publishing Pulitzer finalist What the Constitution Means to Me by Heidi Schreck, forthcoming this fall. We are so excited to be publishing the work of these talented playwrights! #TCG

I think it is no great stretch of anyone's imagination to say that when we hear her words or read them on the page we are moved to tears. But, when you meet her in person and find that she is as amazing as her work, even the most seasoned theatre maker can get a little star struck. This is just one of the many reasons we are so excited that Quiara Alegría Hudes will be joining us at the National Conference this year.

Ever since I started working with the Wallace Foundation, I'd heard about Magda Martinez. The impact of her work is beautifully chronicled in Staying Relevant in a Changing Neighborhood: How Fleisher Art Memorial is Adapting to Shifting Community Demographics . So I was thrilled when Magda agreed to join a session I was designing for the 2018 Fall Forum. And as she shared with powerful eloquence how organizational change really happens, it became clear we had nowhere near enough time.  Well, folx, now we have time. I'm thrilled to share that Magda Martinez, now the COO of Mural Arts Philadelphia, is joining us for a featured webinar on her work! Here are ...

Carlos Celdrán and Indigenous Direction Offer World Theatre Day Messages On the 71st Anniversary of the International Theatre Institute “When I understood that the theatre was a country in itself, a major territory that covers the whole world, a determination arose within me, which was also the realisation of a freedom: you do not have to go far away, or move from where you are, you do not have to run or move yourself. The public is wherever you exist. You have the colleagues you need at your side. There, outside your house, you have all the opaque, impenetrable daily reality.” - Carlos Celdrán , Cuban stage director, playwright ...
