Toward a Climate Haven is a project blending sustainability science with performance art to address Western New York's role as a potential climate refuge amid its own climate uncertainties.

The one-hour May 11 program includes:
· An overview of the “Erie County Community Climate Action Plan” from Sustainability Coordinator Tracy Skalski.
· A reading of climate narrative excerpts from the Imagining Futures Workshop presented by Kacey Stewart and Tori Lannon with Lindsay Martinez, with a certificate ceremony to follow.
· A new play, An Unlikely Refuge* by Bella Poynton, directed by Eero Laine, premieres with a workshop production featuring actors Connor Graham, P.K. Fortson, Lily Jones, and Reumann.
*An Unlikely Refuge was commissioned by the Toward a Climate Haven research team and is made possible by the SPARC (Seed Projects in Arts and Sciences Research and Creative Activities) program in the UB College of Arts and Sciences.
· A Q & A with the Toward a Climate Haven researchers and the An Unlikely Refuge production team.
