The Open World Leadership Center has facilitated a joint venture project with Synetic Theater and the American University during the last two weeks of September 2012. The work will focus on "The Good Doctor"—a composite of vignettes by the Russian dramatist Anton Chekhov through the lens of American dramatist Neil Simon.

Each of the vignettes for this “informance” will be directed by a different Russian director/choreographer, in conjunction with the artistic team of Synetic Theater, Washington’s highly acclaimed physical theater company.
