Empathy Theatre Project will be closing at the end of 2026 as our founder, Cordelia Zars, begins her new career in Mental Health Counseling and raises her child. We are so grateful for all of our amazing years of theatre production!
Original theatre strengthening connection in our divided country.
Our nonprofit develops original theatre that explores social and environmental problems dividing our country.
