“As we consume stories, they inform the way that we think about the world more than a lesson (would).
I think kids are naturally really empathetic, and theater is such a great empathy builder and empathy tool.
We want the people who are on our stages to reflect our actual community that we’re a part of, which is very diverse.
Anything that brings people physically together into the same room, to laugh and cry about the same thing, is a good use of our time.
We’re passionate about providing opportunities for students who might not otherwise see a play if their class didn’t take a field trip (here).”
