our Recent History…
The last decade has been dedicated to learning how to work in countries in crisis. In 1996, Artistic Director Joanna Sherman received a Masters degree from NYU in International Politics and Cross-Cultural Communication (and earned a nomination for valedictorian). At the same time, Mary Dino completed a Masters at the NYU School of Social Work and now is on the Bond Street Board of Directors. The feeling was that after years of creating socially responsive theatre, we needed to look at some of the underlying issues which effect our vision on a global level. What are the implications of theatre in a shrinking world; how can we best offer our abilities without imposing our culture; how can we be helpful in the most imaginative and yet practical ways?
