"Theater is built on three pillars: community, story and change. One actor and one audience member create a community, which is fundamentally all you need to define theatre."
"Every new work by an artist is an instrument of change and an affirmation of life. Story is the record of that life, whether it's a straightforward traditional narrative or doesn't have a narrative at all."
"The beauty of Fertile Ground is its purity. It's a festival of new work in various stages in their growth, from first drafts to fully staged productions."
Fertile Ground Festival, initiated in 2009, showcases over 90 projects across 25 venues, emphasizing the importance of community, story, and change in theater. Led by Tamara Carroll and her team, the festival highlights the transformative power of new works, whether in early drafts or fully staged productions. Each performance serves as a testament to life and creativity, fostering a sense of community among artists and audiences alike. The festival is a vital reminder of the ongoing relevance of art in times of uncertainty.
