Chan School of Public Health, and A.R.T.’s Terrie and Bradley Bloom Artistic Director Diane Paulus discuss the collaboration to develop a Roadmap for Recovery and Resilience for Theater, the Roadmap’s latest content, and A.R.T.’s ongoing commitment to public health in its practice and programming.

February 9: As Valentine’s Day approaches, Sara Faith Alterman (author of Let’s Never Talk about This Again) chats with A.R.T. Line Producers Sophie Ancival and Emma Watt about the OBERON usual suspect and favorite she co-produces, Mortified, a comic excavation of teen angst artifacts as shared by their original authors—in front of total strangers.
