At Theater for the Earth...
we are women artists on a mission to raise consciousness of, and responsibility for the Earth and Waters. We do this with story, song, dance and poetry.
Why Theater?
The reflective nature of theater effects people on both emotional and subconscious levels. Even as early as the 5th century BCE, the Greeks understood the power of theater to summon audiences’ empathy, perspective and desire for social change. Today, more than ever, people are touched and transformed by live stage productions.
How did it begin?
It began with a soul-dream that instructed Frederica Chapman to perform for Nature and the Feminine in (male-controlled) churches and cathedrals. She left a psychotherapy practice, and brought together an inter-generational company of women.
Theater For the Earth began its journey with celebrated performances:
The UN’s World Children’s Day, 1990,
The United Nations Earth Summit , 1992,
The Parliament of the World’s Religions, 1993.
The company toured to churches and cathedrals in Ireland, Wales, France, the US, Including the Washington National Cathedral, and performed several original works up to 2024 with A Song For Mother Water
