About This Show

The FEAR Project is an ensemble piece based on interviews taken by the Artists Rise Up community. The piece tells stories about our collective and individual fears in the current political climate and is a collage of choral poetry, monologues, songs, scenes and audience interaction performed by five performers.

The artists joining Jessica Litwak in this version of The FEAR Project include Coral Cohen, Jonathan Draxton, Stacey Linnarts, Caitlin Morris and Jermy Rishe

Led by seasoned director, award winning playwright, drama therapist, Fulbright alumna and Artistic Director of The H.E.A.T. Collective, Jessica Litwak, The FEAR Project seeks to help broaden conversation about social issues and both private and public fears. This iteration of The FEAR Project will include a performance for the Festival audience, a talk with Jessica about The FEAR Project abroad, and audience discussion.
