Kristin Rothballer’s job title is ‘Director of Strategic Miracles’ for COAL—a new musical on climate change that debuts in San Francisco in October 2016. Based in New Mexico but with members and partners across the USA, COAL is intended as a wake-up call that puts the performing arts at the forefront of mobilizing collective action on fossil fuels and the environment.
