DAMASCUS, PA — “The More Things Change” is the newest original work from Farm Arts Collective; it premiers at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, August 8 at Willow Wisp Organic Farm.

Conceived and directed by Artistic Director Tannis Kowalchuk, artistic director, the play is fourth in the ensemble’s 10-play climate change series, titled “Dream on the Farm.”

This year’s play is the story of a multi-generational farm family who is offered a large sum of money to sell their organic farmland to developers who want to turn the farm into a “bio-diversity” theme park called Eco-Land.

The offer pitches the family into a crisis. What should they do in the face of climate change? Sell, not sell?

And what of their own dreams?

“The More Things Change,” said Kowalchuk, is created collectively and performed by Farm Arts Collective. “It features original music, spectacle and a poetry of performance that works in a unique harmony with the landscape and bucolic vistas of Willow Wisp Organic Farm, a 25-acre farm on the Delaware River.”

There will be food to share after the performance.

The performance is supported by National Endowment for the Arts, Radio Drama Network, William E. Chatlos Foundation, Honesdale National Bank and Deep Roots individual donors.
