In summer 2023 “Calling Hours” presented a theatrical memorial eulogizing the Conesville coal-fired power plant in the town of Coshocton in Eastern Ohio which closed in 2020.
They presented a summary of the project, methods, outcomes, successes, limitations, and future goals at the November 2023 meeting of IEC. Media from the presentation is available below. “Calling Hours” was also featured in the NPR podcast, The Allegheny Front, for more, you can listen to that conversation HERE.
“The show was resolutely local…The actors, the musicians, the writer of our script were all residents of the community here around the power plant.
— Tom Dugdale , “Calling Hours”
