Serious Play Theatre Ensemble

SERIOUS PLAY THEATRE ENSEMBLE works toward reshaping society’s conversation on prominent social issues through the art of ensemble theatre. We strive to inspire curiosity, to challenge, tantalize and engage audiences, and to attract audiences back to the power of the live moment. 

Your contribution works to combat climate change, rising water and the global water crisis through a theatrical call to action! Check out seriousplay.org and our production, devised over the past 4 years. Serious Play’s MOVING WATER, addresses the global water crisis, the redistribution of water on our planet, and climate change. MOVING WATER premiered live in July 2021 in Northampton MA to sold out houses. We have refined and reworked aspects of the production and worked two new actors into the show. This spring we will take the urgent message on the road! The tour begins spring 2024, and will continue through 2025.

Serious Play continues our interest in forging international connections which began to take shape after our participation in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2005, which reawakened our awareness of the intrinsic value of culture and the social impact of theatre on civic pride. Serious Play has created evocative collaborative theatre productions for 29 years, investigating the collision of theatre, social justice and physicality, toward an in-depth explorations of the art of ensemble theatre. As we move forward, we want to continue doing so, while taking our own work beyond the borders of our hometown and bringing non-local artists and productions to Western Massachusetts. 

With your support, we can continue forging the national and international connections that we have already begun building, in order to magnify and diversify the creative exchange in the Connecticut River Valley, our home.
