The Foundation

written and performed by | Sarah Jones

directed and developed by | Amy Taylor Rosenblum

In Sarah Jones’ one-person performance piece, The Foundation, a philanthropic organization’s annual meeting takes an unexpected turn when a change in board leadership coincides with “unpresidented” political developments in Washington. With both humor and empathy, Jones portrays a diverse range of characters in the Foundation’s community, from program officers to grantees to board members, who each share their views on serving the public good and seeking best practices grounded in shared truths at a time when the very notion of “the truth” itself is in question.

Commissioned by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation for their 50th Anniversary Symposium.
