Truth + Art + Community =

A Better World

Our Mission

We believe art and conversations lead to a better world. The Truth Values Community Project seeks to create a profoundly supportive environment in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) through our innovative combination of art, science and conversation.

The Play

The award-winning national hit play Truth Values is a true-life tale that offers a humorous, insightful, and uplifting look at the joys and challenges of being a woman in STEM. Writer/performer and "recovering mathematician" Gioia De Cari creates "refreshing delights of humor, even compassion," (EDGE Media), as she charmingly brings to life more than 30 characters, "each rendered on an empty stage that hints at the countless stories similar to hers but untold" (TimeOut New York).

Presentations of Truth Values on tour sparked 80+ post-show discussions with leading experts, resulting in the development of an extraordinary network. The Truth Values Community is the result of De Cari’s passion for sharing this network via art and conversation, offering the sense of community and support she wished for during her own STEM graduate studies. Join us to continue the conversation through online events and exclusive opportunities to spend time with Gioia and our national network.
