At ArtsEmerson, art sparks something essential—connection in the face of challenges. The 24/25 Season invited us to imagine new possibilities amidst these challenges, from abolitionist futures to radically accessible stages, and trusting that the most powerful conversations begin with the courage to listen and engage with one another.

Artists from Belgium, Puerto Rico, South Africa, and the United Kingdom joined Boston and US-based creators to bring bold, inventive work to life. Audiences experienced everything from an interactive commentary on democracy, to the Tony Award winning Handspring Puppet Company bringing a Booker Prize winning novel to life, to a multimedia performance projected onto the Museum of Science Planetarium dome. The Life & Times of Michael K went on to win the 2025 Elliot Norton Award for “Best Visiting Play” — a moment of pride we shared with everyone who made it possible.

ArtsEmerson continued to present the world on screen with long standing partnerships with New England’s best local film festivals and through our signature film series Projecting Connections and Shared Stories– holding special screenings of Nobuko Miyamoto: A Song in Movement for the annual Day of Remembrance as well as The Glassworker in collaboration with the Museum of Science. Our Play Reading Book Club marked its 10th anniversary with eight gatherings in Roxbury, Allston/Brighton, and downtown Boston. Guided by skilled teaching artists, neighbors sat side by side unpacking the stories on our stages and making meaningful connections with one another. The Point conversation series, now part of GBH’s esteemed Forum Network library, invited audiences to wrestle with questions sparked by the art—from puppetry in storytelling, to accessibility, to climate justice. Partnering with leaders across sectors, these gatherings sparked dialogue that carried far beyond the final curtain call.

We also welcomed extraordinary artists into residency. Murielle Borst-Tarrant (Kuna/Rappahannock) developed Tipi Tales from the Stoop, while playwright Sarah Ruhl joined us as Fresh Sound Artist in Residence, co-conceiving The Seasons with Boston Lyric Opera.

None of this would have been possible without you—the 400+ donors, neighbors, and friends who believe in the magic of gathering for live performance. Your generosity brought four international productions to Boston, uplifted two Gaining Ground works centering underrepresented voices, and gave more than 150 artists the chance to share their stories and hearts with our community.

As we look ahead to our 15th year, we carry your belief in us as both a responsibility and a gift. We will continue to bring extraordinary artists who ask us to reflect on our world, and spark the conversations that draw us closer—to each other, and to the future we dream of building together.

WHO WE ARE

Director of Artistic Programming and Interim Executive Director, ArtsEmerson

Mission We engage all communities through stories that reveal and deepen our connection to each other. By cultivating diversity in the art and in the audience, we ignite public conversation around our most vexing societal challenges as a catalyst for overcoming them.

Vision A thriving world where art ignites empathy for ourselves and each other.

Our History ArtsEmerson is the professional presenting and producing organization of the Office of the Arts at Emerson College. Founded by Robert J. Orchard in 2010, the year the US Census confirmed there was no single cultural majority in Boston, we committed to building a cultural institution that reflects the diversity of our city. We operate from the core belief that the arts are for everyone. By “putting the world on stage” ArtsEmerson quickly established a reputation for presenting outstanding work from around the globe — work that emanates from the language of theater, yet pushes the boundaries between theater, dance, music, and media arts. And by bringing diverse programming to neighborhoods all over the city, we have become an integral part of Boston’s efforts to transform our bitter history of segregation into a resilient legacy of equity and unity in diversity. ArtsEmerson’s first seasons focused on building a world-class cultural institution, raising awareness of our existence, and forging a reputation for artistic excellence. ArtsEmerson was first named “Boston’s Best Theater” by Boston Magazine following its 2012/13 season.

By December of 2013, WBUR critic Ed Siegel cited ArtsEmerson in his annual “Best of” round-up, saying: “In four short years they have established ArtsEmerson as one of the most important cultural institutions in New England.” In 2013 we expanded our focus, through a variety of civic engagement activities, setting out to become an effective partner in our city’s efforts to promote social cohesion. When naming ArtsEmerson “Boston’s Best Theater” again in 2015, Boston Magazine wrote, “Most impressive, ArtsEmerson realizes its global vision while remaining audience-focused and community-centric.” ArtsEmerson is an Indigenous-led organization currently under the leadership of Interim Executive Director and Director of Artistic Programming Ronee Penoi (Laguna Pueblo/Cherokee).

A YEAR IN THE CINEMA

Cinema is more than stunning visuals—it’s a conduit for connection, empathy, and shared experience. Building on past successes, we deepened that spirit by continuing to offer audiences multiple ways to engage with film, whether through our Digital Cinema platform or in-person screenings at the Bright Family Screening Room and partner venues. Our curated selections uplifted a range of diverse voices, and the post-screening conversations offered space for reflection—giving voice to the thought-provoking themes and resonant questions prompted by the films.

BOSTON ASIAN AMERICAN FILM FESTIVAL We were proud to once again serve as the home of the Boston Asian American Film Festival (BAAFF), which celebrated its milestone 16th anniversary with an inspiring blend of in-person and virtual programming. This year’s festival captivated over 2,000 attendees through a dynamic lineup of 50 film screenings— ranging from bold new voices to acclaimed cinematic works—paired with spirited postshow conversations and community dialogue.

Audiences gathered both in theaters and online, reflecting BAAFF’s continued commitment to accessibility and cultural connection. Among the most memorable moments was an exclusive preview of Hulu’s highly anticipated series Interior Chinatown, followed by an illuminating conversation with showrunner and author Charles Yu. Read more about BAAFF 2024 here.

PROJECTING CONNECTIONS ArtsEmerson continued its 6th year of the series Projecting Connections: Chinese American Experiences. Using film as a lens to reflect on the

88

vast lived experiences of the Chinese population in the Greater Boston Area, this special series featured films and post- show curated discussions designed to build and foster meaningful community conversation.

An unforgettable Projecting Connections premiere. Projecting Connections proudly hosted the world premiere of The Truer History of the Chan Family, in a rich collaboration with The Asian Community Fund and BAAFF. This groundbreaking film takes viewers on a vibrant journey: a Chinese American playwright’s pursuit of fame suddenly becomes a musical odyssey—unearthing family secrets, Gold Rush-era scandal, and the painful history of anti-Asian hate in America.

ArtsEmerson’s hybrid post-screening discussion brought together five of the film’s visionary creators— joining us both in person, and joining remotely from Los Angeles—to share reflections, answer questions, and connect across coasts. It was a moving, lively exchange that resonated deeply with the audience.

In addition to the powerful film presentation and conversation, ArtsEmerson was honored to welcome playwright and filmmaker Eugenie Chan for a special residency weekend. During her time with us, Eugenie led a free masterclass and joined a post-show panel discussion following I Love XXX, an EmStage production—offering audiences deeper insight into her creative process and storytelling vision.

FILM SPOTLIGHT SHARED STORIES A central staple of our programming is the consistently resonant Shared Stories series, also in its 6th year.

This film series aims to foster community, shared conversations, and experiences through cinema.

It pairs complex, topical films with the engaging discussions they inspire. The series aspires to create a common space where diverse experiences intersect, encouraging the exchange of stories and ideas. Shared Stories is presented in collaboration with BAAFF, CineFest Latino Boston, and the Roxbury International Film Festival with media sponsor, The Boston Globe.

A standout in the series was the powerful documentary Power—a gripping essay film that unpacks the complex history of policing in the U.S. Through a sharp lens on race and systemic inequality, the film challenges audiences to reflect on their own place within these structures. The screening sparked a dynamic and open conversation with Director Yance Ford; Dr. Mneesha Gellman, Founder & Director of the Emerson Prison Initiative; and moderator Lisa Simmons, Director/Artistic Director of the Roxbury International Film Festival. The evening was grounded by a thoughtful introduction from Ronee Penoi, Interim Executive Director of the Office of the Arts & ArtsEmerson/Director of Artistic Programming.

ADDITIONAL FILM THE GLASSWORKER Beyond the Projecting Connections/Shared Stories framework, ArtsEmerson is also happy give a home ArtsEmerson was so proud to partner the Museum of to Boston Baltic Film Festival, CineFest Latino Science to present The Glassworker on the Museum of Boston, The Bright Lights Film Series, Roxbury Science’s 5 story domed, Mugar Omni Theater IMAX screen.

International Film Festival and Wicked Queer Co-presented by BAAFF and Subcontinental Drift Boston Film Festival as well as featured a special Day of and playing to a sold out audience, The Glassworker is Remembrance presentation of Reparations, in Pakistan’s first hand-drawn animated feature, depicting the collaboration with NEJACL (New England Japanese tumultuous journey of a young glassmaker and his father American Citizens League). as they navigate love, war, and the clash between personal dreams and societal duty.

“The Glassworker is a wonderful film in its own right, but also deserves to be the first of many animated tales from underrepresented nations.”

A YEAR IN CIVIC ENGAGEMENT

PLAY READING BOOK CLUB In 2024/25, ArtsEmerson’s Play Reading Book Club (PRBC) celebrated its 10th anniversary! PRBC is a theatre literacy and community engagement initiative that provides radical access to scripts, artists and conversations within the theatre. In 24/25, PRBC explored On the Eve of Abolition, The Life & Times of Michael K, and Utopian Hotline in Roxbury, Allston/Brighton, and downtown Boston. Over the course of 4-5 weeks, participants unpacked the text through dialogue, discussion, and behind the scenes resources from ArtsEmerson, guided by trained teaching artists.

Participants: •

Do a deep dive into a play via group readings, facilitated discussions, and access to resources that interpret the context.

•

Meet new people and increase social connectedness.

•

Obtain tools and resources to help navigate the process of attending the theater.

•

Attend the studied play together with a sense of belonging and ownership of our venues.

PLAY READING BOOK CLUBS In-person and digital serving diverse communities across Boston

THE POINT ART IS THE PROVOCATION; CONVERSATION IS THE POINT The Point is a conversation series that invites audiences to explore big questions in intimate settings. Hosted by a member of the ArtsEmerson team, local and national luminaries offer their points of view on the urgent questions surfaced by artists on our stages.

In 2024/25 ArtsEmerson hosted three Point conversations covering puppetry in theatre, accessibility in the arts, and climate justice and the future of theatre.

Pulling at the Strings discussed questions such as “What drives us to utilize puppets and masks to tell of our origins, of our struggles, of our hardships” with Professor Felice Amato, Dr. Jason Butler, and director Veronica Barron joining Ronee Penoi.

Inclusion: The Destination and the Road Ahead discussed how we can continue to move the needle to ensure that everyone can access the show and that the material we enjoy reflects humanity as a whole – with a wide variety of abilities and differences. For this conversation, Ronee was joined by the host of the podcast, “Blind? So What?” Ciara Moser, audio describer, performer, and leader in the Spina Bifida community Cori Couture, groundbreaking founder and Executive Director of Abilities Dance Ellice Patterson, and managing director of Open Door Arts, Nicole Agois Hurel.

Finally, co-presented with the Museum of Science, Hot on Stage: Climate Justice and the Future of Theater examined how we might engage with climate justice in our storytelling spaces – in artistic content, designed impact and in powering our buildings themselves.

This conversation was presented as a part of the Year of Being Human and the year-long partnership between the ArtsEmerson and the Museum of Science.

ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE

One of the founding principles of ArtsEmerson was to make sure artists had a home to create work on their own terms. Below you can find a description of some of the collaborations from our 2024/25 Artists in Residence as well as Artist Commissions.

Murielle Borst-Tarrant In a special collaboration between ArtsEmerson, ArtsEmerson’s Black and Indigenous Initiative, and HowlRound Theatre Commons’ National Playwright Residency Program, Murielle Borst-Tarrant came to Boston in July and August 2024 for two weeks to workshop Tipi Tales from the Stoop, a new work created and performed

by Murielle (Kuna/Rappahannock). The piece is Murielle’s personal tapestry of stories being brought up in Brooklyn in a Mafia-run neighborhood when she and her family were the only Natives on the block. The residency concluded with an intimate, invited dress rehearsal on the Robert J. Orchard stage.

Sarah Ruhl was ArtsEmerson’s 24/25 Fresh Sound Artist in Residence, funded generously by the Fresh Sound Foundation. Sarah Ruhl co-conceived The Seasons, ArtsEmerson’s co-presentation with Boston Lyric Opera, and wrote the Libretto for the piece. As part of her residency, Sarah participated in many events on Emerson’s campus including a meet and greet with students and faculty, a free dress rehearsal of The Seasons for the Emerson community, and a panel discussion with the Right Honourable Dame Jacinda Ardern, former Prime Minister of New Zealand, also open to the Emerson students and community.

Annalisa Dias Annalisa Dias is a Goan-American transdisciplinary artist, community organizer, and award-winning theatre maker working at the intersection of racial justice and care for the earth. She is known for her thoughtprovoking and emotionally resonant writing. Her plays often explore themes of identity, displacement, and social inequality, drawing from her own experiences as a first-generation American and her deep connections to her ancestral roots. Annalisa was in residency with ArtsEmerson in June 2025 for her work The Invention of Seeds. During her time in residence, she met with ArtsEmerson’s production team and held rehearsals in our spaces, concluding with an invited reading of the piece.

ARTIST RESIDENCIES

Theater Mitu Theater Mitu came to Boston and the Museum of Science in December 2024 for a 10 day technical residency ahead of their performances of Utopian Hotline in May 2025. The residency served as an important opportunity for the company to work on restaging, rebuilding, and reconceiving the existing performance and A/V technological work for the Planetarium spaces at the Museum of Science.

ARTIST COMMISSIONS

supported by ArtsEmerson in the 24/25 Season

INSTITUTIONAL COLLABORATION ArtsEmerson builds community through collaboration, partnering with leading cultural institutions across Boston to extend the reach and resonance of our work.

In FY25, we continued our partnership with WGBH, which records and distributes The Point conversations through its Forum Network—ensuring these vital dialogues reach audiences citywide and beyond.

We partnered with Boston Lyric Opera on The Seasons, bringing a climate justice lens to their bold reimagining of Vivaldi. ArtsEmerson enhanced the production by creating engagement opportunities with Fresh Sound artist-in-residence Sarah Ruhl and through our Play Reading Book Club.

On the Eve of Abolition, developed by Puerto Rican collective Papel Machete, exemplified the power of collaborative producing. Agora Cultural Architects brought this visionary work to ArtsEmerson, and the City of Boston provided substantial funding to make it possible on our stage.

Together, these partnerships highlight ArtsEmerson’s collaborative approach: amplifying artistic impact, expanding access to vital stories, and strengthening Boston’s cultural ecosystem.

INITIATIVES

Our relationship with the Museum of Science expanded through two major collaborations: co-presenting Theater Mitu’s Utopian Hotline in the Charles Hayden Planetarium, and developing and co-producing The Point: Hot on Stage, Climate Justice, and the Future of Theater to convene artists, policymakers, and community leaders around environmental justice.

INITIATIVES

ACCESSIBILITY As a Massachusetts Cultural Council Universal Participation-designated organization, ArtsEmerson is committed to offering inclusive experiences for people of all abilities. We offer a variety of accessibility services for our patrons and community members, including ASL interpretation, audio description, open captioning, and assistive listening devices.

In the 2024/25 season, we were proud to be able to offer:

17

AUDIO DESCRIBED PERFORMANCES

15

PERFORMANCES WITH OPEN CAPTIONING

2

PERFORMANCES WITH ASL INTERPRETATION

We are grateful for the Massachusetts Cultural Council and the Liberty Mutual Foundation, whose ongoing support makes our work creating a culture of inclusivity for people of all abilities.

In a moment when climate despair can feel overwhelming, ArtsEmerson leaned into a core belief voiced by former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern: people are moved not by facts alone, but by stories.

INITIATIVES

CLIMATE JUSTICE

That vision came alive on February 25 with The Whole Story: Climate Change and the Arts, a conversation with Ardern, playwright Sarah Ruhl, and moderator P. Carl that affirmed optimism as a courageous practice and the arts as a platform for climate dialogue.

We carried this momentum into March with The Seasons, a reimagining of Vivaldi that translated extreme weather into the disrupted lives of artists—opening space to consider how climate change touches both daily and creative life.

In April, the dialogue expanded at the Museum of Science with The Point: Hot on Stage, Climate Justice, and the Future of Theater, featuring artistic and policy leaders María Belén Power, Beyazmin Jiménez, Kaya Lolar, and Annalisa Dias.

By June, this inquiry deepened with Dias’ public reading of The Invention of Seeds, juxtaposing a family farm under corporate threat with a GMO seed seeking belonging. The work reminded us how storytelling connects us, grounds us, and moves us toward a healthier future. Thanks to your support, these stories are shaping Boston’s cultural conversation on climate justice.

A YEAR OF PHILANTHROPY

WORLD ALIVE! We were thrilled to host our 9th Annual World Alive! Gala Celebration on Saturday, October 5th at the Revere Hotel in downtown Boston. We gathered with friends, artists, and community members and supporters to celebrate our 24/25 season – raising critical funds to support our annual programming. We were proud to honor Elsa Mosquera-Sterenberg, co-founder and creative powerhouse of Agora Cultural Architects, with the 2024 Champion Award for her partnership with ArtsEmerson and support of the arts as a source of civic transformation. Gala guests enjoyed performances by Maria Hendricks and Geraldine Barney, as well as Minty Fresh Circus, while Chloe Swindler provided music for the evening.

GARDEN PARTY We hosted our annual Garden Party on Sunday, June 1 at the beautiful deCordova Museum and Sculpture Park in Lincoln, MA. All proceeds from the annual Garden Party benefit the Gaining Ground Fund, which supports artists whose work reflects the African Diasporic experience in America – with the resources and freedom to bring bold visions to life. It was an unforgettable afternoon of music, connection, and community, with entertainment by Toki Wright, internationally recognized DJ and hip hop artist, and chair of Berklee’s professional music department.
