Theatre Communications Group is proud to participate in #FallOfFreedom, a nationwide cultural movement uniting artists, institutions, and communities in celebration of creative expression and solidarity. This November 21-22, we will unite in defiance of censorship and in celebration of artistic freedom. Visit FallofFreedom.com to learn more about events happening in your community.

Fall of Freedom centers art and artists as our greatest defense against authoritarianism. Below is a resource list of creations from our theatre ecology that underscore those efforts.
