The Spaces Between Us is a series of short plays presented by Brandeis Department of Theater Arts that seek to examine how we move forward in addressing the issue of climate change. The plays ask questions such as: “What does environmental action look like in an individual?” “How do frogs feel about increasing global temperatures?” “What will environmental scientists do with themselves when all of their labs get shut down?” “Who is studying whom in the ongoing research of climate science?” and “How can we work together and inspire each other to fix what has been broken by years of neglect and abuse?”
