Theatre For Social Justice: The Hobbit
October 9, 2013
Why this theme for the season? Why not? Theatre has been used for centuries to bring to light to social issues, to protest, to uplift and to teach. At Homestead, we feel that we should use theatre to shed light on some social issues that seem to fall through the cracks. We are not here … More Theatre For Social Justice: The Hobbit
