Aaron, Kimie, and Amy discuss the theatre's role in sparking conversations within the community. They explore the challenges of maintaining a neutral space for dialogue amid increasing tribalism and political polarization. The Ensemble emphasizes the importance of uncomfortable yet courageous conversations and highlights 'Radiant Vermin' with post-show talkbacks and upcoming Playtasting of Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune. They also discuss the ongoing I Am/We Are project, which aims to gather stories from Bloomsburg's diverse community.
