Every month, Shantigar hosts theatre conversations online, led by Rosemary Quinn, theatre artist, director of NYU’s Experimental Theatre Wing, and Shantigar’s co-director. During these Saturday calls, we explore ideas that feed into our curiosities about theatre and the world. 



September's call landed on Harvest as a theme. Tilling the fields and reaping what we’ve sown. The idea of being a seed for one another. How seeds scatter and who knows what will volunteer next? And moments when gratitude is our greatest harvest.

This summer at Shantigar was immensely fruitful—the bounty of tomatoes in our garden; actors growing a play-in-progress; students studying our bees, and indigenous groups deepening their connections. Feast on these stories below. If your group would like to rent Shantigar for a gathering, contact co-director Deb Katz: 413-834-3280.

This Fall, Shantigar is offering three extraordinary workshops, described here. Our workshops are celebrated as inspiring and inclusive experiences. Thanks to generous donors, a few partial scholarships are available. To learn more, contact Shantigar administrator Peter Columbus:
