What's Past Is Prologue 2026

From Oct 19, 2026

Artists are often sensitive to directions of the culture before anybody else, displaying remarkable prescience about what is lurking around the corner and offering warnings while prevention is still possible. Focused on plays that grappled with the future to come and are still urgently relevant, the new reading series WHAT’S PAST IS PROLOGUE will feature IN THE CANYON (2018) by Calamity West and directed by Kylie Eustis Brown, CONVERSATIONS IN TUSCULUM (2008) written and directed by Richard Nelson, and INHERITORS (1921) by Susan Glaspell and directed by Jessie Austrian. Additional readings for the Winter and Spring seasons will be announced at a later date.
