ABOUT
Both a dramatic performance and awards presentation, Hidden Heroes gives witness to the service and action by university colleagues and partners that traditionally goes unseen. Honorees’ stories are shared in a dramatic narrative performance, a genre of theatre also known as verbatim theatre. Honorees are matched with playwrights who, through one or more interviews, develop a story using the honoree’s own words. That story is then brought to life on stage (or screen) by a company of actors and artists.
