Wild Home takes an odyssey across America, collaborating with rural towns significantly pressured by fossil fuel industries. In each area, Wild Home partners with local community to hold public story-sharing events. A professional playwright then crafts plays based on shared testimony and community feedback. The plays are performed  in outdoor spaces by folks from the area and by professional actors and they are interspersed with facilitated dialogue about local efforts to protect our neighborhoods and wilderness. The program is designed so the plays can travel from rural areas to city centers, as a means of exploring and deepening conversation around climate change, land sovereignty and the industrialization of public lands at a grassroots level and on a national, policymaker scale. ​ 

Wild Home aims to magnify stories about American Wilderness areas under threat and the people who depend on them, specifically at this crucial moment in time. These plays not only mobilize grassroots civic engagement in towns all over the nation, they also document each community’s unique history and culture at a particularly urgent moment in that community’s journey. Because they are based on true stories, the plays are marked by an authenticity of character and voice, and a sometimes-disarming honesty. They are very real and very accessible, and have the rare power to touch people on a deeply personal level, galvanizing communities to take action.
