Climate Follies, a new play by Indianapolis playwright Jim Poyser, is a comedy about the unfunniest thing ever: the climate crisis.

Climate Follies consists of over a dozen short plays that explore aspects of our unraveling climate system and the human response. The program is presented as a staged reading by audience members of pieces from Climate Follies. Participants will be directed by John Green, professor in the Theatre Department at Columbia College Chicago, where he teaches Stage Directing and is Co-Director of the Graduate program in European Devised Performance Practice.

Members of the audience will be enlisted to present the pieces, creating an event during which each individual in attendance can determine the extent and quality of their involvement
