Kyoto is a unique theatrical experience, a hybrid of docudrama, political theatre, immersive theatre, and more. I learned more about the world climate change movement in that two-and-a-half hours in the Newhouse than I had from years of viewing media coverage. And what entertainment and insight it provided into the dynamic of international political negotiation!

Meanwhile, for lovers of Sondheim and musical theater, it is imperative to see this vibrant production of Here We Are at The Shed, filled with vitality and creativity. What a thrill it is to take this continuing journey with the “Final Sondheim”! In addition to the definitive contributions of Ives, Mantello and Tunick, there have been many others along the way, including Oskar Eustis who originally developed it at the Public Theater (in 2012); readings with Kelli O’Hara (2017) and Bernadette Peters and Nathan Lane (2021). And now there is an all-star cast team of theater artists (actors, director, designers) who shine.
