Climate Change Theatre Action (CCTA) is a worldwide production of short plays about climate change, presented biennially to coincide with the United Nations’ COP meetings. In this globally distributed theatre festival, fifty professional playwrights are commissioned to write original works, and people around the world will present these five-minute plays to raise awareness and generate conversations about climate change. In its third year participating in CCTA, UFV Theatre will be staging pop-up readings and performances of these plays around the Abbotsford campus during the week of November 21.
