Partner Spotlight: The Curious Theatre Company Moves Its Audience to Read Beyond the Headlines with “cullud wattah”
By: Reka Robinson, Communications Manager
The Biller Family Foundation’s Social Impact Theatre Grant Program champions the transformative potential of live theatre to unite differing perspectives and ignite meaningful conversations. Recently, I saw this vision come to life on the stage in Denver, Colorado, where I attended Curious Theatre Company’s production of “cullud wattah“ by Erika Dickerson-Despenza.
Our Focus Areas
Economic Opportunity
We advance solutions that expand equitable access to economic opportunity. We focus on workforce development programs and career technical education.
Social Impact Theatre
Live theatre has the power to spark dialogue and provide a lens to process the critical issues of our day. We support theatres in Western states that are igniting positive changes in their communities through their programming on the stage.
Supportive Cancer Care
We work to create more equitable access of care programs that specialize in addressing the clinical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs of patients and their loved ones facing cancer and other life-threatening diseases – a model called supportive care.
