About the Global Age Project:
“It seems to me that most of the work currently being written is reactionary or reflective in nature. While the past is an excellent resource for material, what about what’s happening in the absolute now and future? For artists to have a stake in the future, they need to think about it, visualize it and ultimately claim it.”
- Tom Ross, Aurora Theatre Company Artistic Director
The Global Age Project was created by artistic director Tom Ross with the goal of promoting the creation of forward-looking new works that address issues of the 21st century and beyond. A full production of Craig Lucas’ Small Tragedy will play in tandem with The GAP play reading series at Aurora Theatre Company.
