“You have to entertain…for social change"

Posted by Anne Pannabecke... on April 14, 2017 - 6:00am

“You have to entertain if you’re doing theatre for social change,” Ted Swartz of Ted & Company explained to Bluffton University students April 4. “The quickest way to get from a closed mind to an open mind is to get them to laugh.” 

Swartz shared advice with students in the Theatre for Social Change class who are working on projects on bullying, gender inequality, racial injustice and sexual orientation. 

Swartz was on campus to perform “Laughter is Sacred Space,” a production about grief and mental illness, as part of Bluffton’s annual Spring Spiritual Life Week.
