United States Theatre Project
The United States Theatre Project, founded in 2002, is a non-profit
collaboration of professional artists committed to the development of
epic dramatic experiences by unique community interactions that examine
a human event, condition, or phenomena intrinsic to our social and political
fabric as Americans. USTP's first project, columbinus, had workshops
at the North Carolina School of the Arts, Arena Stage, Kennedy Center,
Curious Theatre (Denver), Perseverance Theatre, and New York Theatre
Workshop, and had its co-world premiere at Round House Theatre and Perseverance
Theatre. USTP's next project, American Family, examines intergenerational
separation in eight diverse families and how tragedy is often the tie
that binds.
