Cultivating connection, exploring local issues, and celebrating rural communities using theater and storytelling.
“You should be proud of where you live. Living in a rural area doesn’t mean you’re settling for something less.” -Ann Thompson, Greater Milan Initiative
The Defrost Project is a collective of artists working to cultivate connection, explore local issues, and celebrate rural communities using theater and storytelling.
Throughout 2020-21, we’re partnering with the folks in Milan, Minnesota on a community-wide project!
