Radical Empathy
by David Wells
WORLD PREMIERE
August 1 - 24, 2025
Radical Empathy is not about you.
When an American college professor’s TED Talk on empathy goes viral, he meets an Iraqi man who becomes a fixture in his virtual classroom. But when the brutality of the U.S.-led invasion hits the Iraqi man directly, the professor is forced to explore “the kindred connection from a place of deep knowing that opens your spirit to the pain of another as they perceive it.” (Isabel Wilkerson) A true story.
The cast features Jeannine Coughlin, Maya Gangadharan, Fedor Kinaya, and *Phil Powers. Directed by Briana O’Neal (director), the production team includes Craig Hane (set), Jade Guerriero (lights), Micha Victoria (costumes), Kennikki Jones-Jones (sound), and Elise Blochwitz (stage manager).
