About the Curators

Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics (FASPE) provides a unique historical lens to study contemporary ethics. Each year, FASPE awards 80-90 fellowships to students pursuing professional degrees in business, the clergy, journalism, law, medicine, and design & technology. Fellows spend 2 weeks in Germany and Poland, visiting Auschwitz and key historical sites and participating in rigorous seminars led by experts in their respective fields. Fellows examine the roles their counterparts played in Nazi Germany and explore the ethical issues facing their fields today. FASPE was first piloted in 2009 and has over 800 Alumni across the globe. FASPE has been a content and conversation partner to the Tectonic artistic team throughout the development of Here There Are Blueberries. www.faspe-ethics.org Shakespeare Theatre Company For more than 35 years, the Tony Award-winning Shakespeare Theatre Company has dedicated itself to being the nation’s premier classical theatre. Classical plays are realized best not by originalism but by walking the path Shakespeare himself followed, creating works that spoke to his own contemporary audience. We tell vital stories in audacious forms. We tell stories that are Shakespearean in the deepest sense, even if (and especially when) they are not written by Shakespeare. By focusing on works with profound themes and complex characters, STC’s artistic mission is unique among regional theatres: to bring to vibrant life groundbreaking, thought-provoking, and eminently accessible theatre. Tectonic Theater Project Based in New York City and guided by founder and artistic director Moisés Kaufman, Tectonic Theater Project develops new plays using the company’s trademarked theater-making method, Moment Work, and through a rigorous process of research and collaboration in a laboratory environment. Since its founding in 1991, the company has created and staged over twenty plays and musicals, including Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde, The Laramie Project, Doug Wright’s Pulitzer Prize-winning I Am My Own Wife, the Tony Award-winning 33 Variations, and the Drama Desk Award-winning Seven Deadly Sins. Tectonic Theater Project’s newest world-premiere play, Here There Are Blueberries, completed a critically acclaimed run at La Jolla Playhouse and is now at Shakespeare Theatre Company.
