COAL is a musical unlike any other. It is an experience, an event that invites us into a shared, imaginative response to our current paradox- coal powers our world and yet it has devastating consequences for all life on earth. 


A mythical story told through global musical score, COAL brings people together across many divides, lifts global perspectives, and catalyzes collective response and knowledge through musical performances, community dinners, dialogues, and creative workshops.


The story of climate change is often told through a despairing and overwhelming lens that results in the feeling that the way forward is beyond our control.  COAL invites human courage, wisdom and heart back into the story and gives us the opportunity to be heroic together. 


COAL is a catalyst for collective reflection, value clarification and social action that moves us beyond notions of good and bad in the spirit of connection.
