<div>Dear commoners,</div><div><br></div><div>This week we published a feature story by two leaders in the American regional theater movement who have formed the American Voices New Play Institute. The Institute is re-conceiving theater as a commons rather than thinking of theater in market terms. This is a turn away from the recent past and revives values from the founding of the movement in the 60s with a focus on decentralizing cultural expression and strengthening civic dialog through art, among other goals. More on what's brewing here: </div>
