Heralded as “Moving” by Dallas Theatre Journal and “Powerfully Palpable” by Onstage NTX, experience the raw power of human resilience in HAZARDS: The Next Wave, a gripping and emotionally charged spectacle exploring the human cost of catastrophe. From natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes to man-made crises like war and conflict, HAZARDS is a high-impact theatrical experience immersing audiences in the strength, hope, and unbreakable spirit that emerges amidst crisis.
HAZARDS is made possible by the following generous support:
HAZARDS made its World Premiere in October 2024 as part of the prestigious AT&T Performing Arts Center’s Elevator Project,
expanded from a fifteen-minute segment first presented through Agora Artists' SEEDS 2024 concert. The production supports the mission of Artists Sans Frontières, a nonprofit that provides performing arts outreach, entertainment, and education to individuals of all ages in areas impacted by war, violence, natural disaster, and economic disparity.
