Under the Radar and CULTUREBOT present a series of round table conversations on the most current and compelling ideas at work in the field of contemporary theater and the conditions in which it is being made. Join leading practitioners, thinkers and supporters of cutting edge theater for lively discussions on the state of the field and what the future might hold.

The early 20th century gave birth to a national Little Theater movement that rejected the hegemony of commercially-driven New York City shows and embraced a more community-based, locally responsive model of theater. This grew into today’s regional theater system, one that is increasingly removed from the everyday lives of many communities. As a new generation discovers the values of Little Theater, how will this shape the future of American Theater? Join Culturebot and friends for a lively discussion.
