About Me

United States
Deborah S. Greenhut, PhD, is a playwright, arts documentarian, and educator who began teaching in a one-room school house in rural New England during 1970. These days you can find me collaborating with urban educators and students, seeking new ways to make education artful. I have consulted on management skills and communication arts in 44 of the United States and 5 provinces in Canada. I believe that people learn more effectively through drama-assisted instruction, and I exploit the Internet to deliver it. The views expressed here are entirely mine and not those of any other institution or organization.

Remembering the Triangle Fire

If you are in the New York area, try to catch a new production, "Remembering the Triangle Fire," collaboratively created by Tony-Nominated Elizabeth Swados, Cecilia Rubino, Paula Finn, and Rachel Roche-Bronfman. Here is a case of art helping us to understand U.S. history--particularly why collective bargaining can be a good thing. Check out John Seabrook's article in The New Yorker to get a taste of this fantastic collaboration. Can't get to New York for the 100th anniversary of this horrific event? Link to the Coalition website for a wonderful archive of information.  Here's a map of where the 146 victims lived.
