Superhero Clubhouse unites ecology and theater to enact justice, cultivate hope, and inspire a thriving future.
We are a New York-based community of artists, scientists, and environmental professionals invested in a long-term experiment to understand how theater can help shift consciousness in the face of global climate change.
SUPERHERO = powerful individuals dedicated to making a better world. CLUBHOUSE = an inclusive gathering place for serious play.

Our eighth annual eco-playwriting program, created and led in partnership with The Bushwick Starr, began in January with classroom sessions at P.S.75 and I.S.77. Fourth, fifth, and sixth graders at both schools have written original eco-plays on environmental justice and climate change, inspired by learning from these professionals working in the field:
Nilda Mesa, director of the Urban Design Lab at Columbia University
Markeya Thomas, Climate Nexus
Tattfoo Tan, eco-artist
Tanasia Swift, Billion Oyster Project
Erinn White, Urban Park Ranger
Student plays were produced by our team of professional theater artists, fully staged and designed sustainably at The Bushwick Starr April 25-29.
