Emerging from conversations about the heavy atmosphere of current times, Mayday seeks to respond creatively—without pretending to have all the answers. It offers an opportunity for attendees to gather, listen, and engage in meaningful discussions.

Key aspects of Mayday:

• The event features a new short play titled Patriotic Renewal, presented by Hannah Lavery.
• Directors aim for participants to leave feeling more connected—to each other and the questions raised.
• Public conversation feels increasingly polarized; this initiative encourages openness and curiosity.

The term ‘mayday’ itself has roots in marine radio communication, indicating emergencies—a fitting metaphor for the urgent need for dialogue today. The VHF radio remains essential for emergency communication at sea, underscoring the importance of staying connected.
