What has been the biggest changes in society? All of us will remember 2020 as the year our lives were turned upside down by Covid-19. It’s hard to overestimate the impact that had on not just our physical health and our daily lives, but also on our mental health, with rates of depression doubling during the first six months of lockdown. The Black Lives Matter movement also stands out, shining a light on the systemic issues facing Black people and people of colour around the world. And of course, climate change is ever-present. 2020 showed that we can all mobilise to change. What impact have these issues had on ITV and its Social Purpose?

  • Michael Warren Powellis
    WELCOME to the Fifteenth Annual Last Frontier Theatre Conference. We at Prince William Sound Community College are very proud of this event, and hopefully by the end of the week you will see why. I started coming to Valdez (for the Conference) in 1995, its third year, and it became an annual pilgrimage for me. I quit jobs to make it here. I ran up credit cards. I did whatever it took for me to get to spend the week here. I crashed on the floor at the college, survived off the food at receptions, and worked on whatever anyone asked me to. No one was more important to me in those early years than Michael Warren Powell, the first coordinator of the Play Lab. I remember being in awe of how insightful the responding panel was critiquing plays that were all (in my opinion) pretty problematic. Michael and the other panelists became my idols. Which made it all the more important to me when one day I was hanging out with friends at the picnic tables in the middle of the park strip and we saw Michael walking our direction. He came up and engaged us in conversation, and we became friends. He let us know that he considered us his peers. In the late 90s, I decided that, of all the people I had met, there was no one whose life I wanted to emulate more than Michael’s. I made producing new work and nurturing playwrights my focus, and the answer to most of my questions can be found in the answer to the question “What would Michael do?” I am very excited to have him back with us this year.
