The other night, the Working Families Party—which works outside the usual two-party political system with individuals, and partners in unions, community organizations and social movements—held a talkback joined by several of SUFFS' creative team, talking about how theatre and other arts forms are bringing history and current events to a broader audience by being entertaining as well as newsworthy.
