The Lorraine Kimsa Theatre for Young People is pleased to announce that the most recent production in Judith Marcuse’s trilogy of dance-theatre works for young people, EARTH=home, will be presented on the Mainstage from March 31 to April 9.

Based on three years of workshops with young people from diverse communities, EARTH=home explores the state of the earth – where we are taking it and each other – by examining global warming, diminishing resources, environmental sustainability and social justice.
