Season 2026: “Home/Land”

/Shows & Events/Season 2026: "Home/Land"

Single Tickets now on sale!

This season, we’re exploring many stories from across the American experience. We’ll hear stories from those who knew this land first. We’ll explore how economic forces displace working-class people. And we’ll explore how race exacerbates that divide. We’ll introduce the idea of environmental legacy, and we’ll question the generational responsibility for the land we leave behind. We’ll see how being underestimated can become the ultimate advantage. We’ll look at what it means to be an outsider, and how quickly that can change. We’ll celebrate the beauty of ordinary life. 

For thirty-five years, we’ve been gathering in this space, finding common ground through shared stories. In a world that feels increasingly divided, that tradition feels more important than ever. Come home with us.
