About the Butterfly Project: The Next Flight

Picture
We are pleased to announce that we will partner with Wolf Performing Arts Center to create The Butterfly Project’s next play.  

Check out WolfPAC's website to learn more about the first The Butterfly Project.


A group of promising students from each organization will create a new work responding to contemporary issues and using their voices to tell the stories of those who have been silenced, once again demonstrating the healing power of art in times of crisis.

While creating the new play, the students will be guided by three principles:
  • Inspire the use of theatre as a platform for social change
  • Instill the need to promote awareness and acceptance
  • Invigorate a fight against injustice and become advocates through art
