Alongside the Theatre School at DePaul University and Victory Gardens Theatre, Silk Road Rising was proud to host ConFest 2018, the 6th National Asian American Theater Conference and Festival. Themed “Revolutionary Acts,” the conference engaged in passionate dialogues about social injustice and inequity in American culture and considered what theater practitioners can do about it.
