Since their inception in 1995, Theater Three Collaborative has been creating, developing, and producing poetic, character-driven plays on crucial topics of the day. The group was founded by the late Lee Nagrin, George Bartenieff, and Karen Malpede to produce Malpede’s play, The Beekeeper’s Daughter. The Collaborative also creates and hosts Festivals of Conscience, talks and talkbacks with public intellectuals, writers, and activists.
