Love directing this beautiful play by Patrick Gabridge.
Enjoy this sneak peek of the costumes for 'A Revelation of Character.' Our wonderful costume designer, Kat Lawrence, created these renderings of costumes to match each character and their personality.

Proud member of the @dramatistsguild.bsky.social and so glad to be part of the Education Committee. I found their free resources for educators to be an invaluable tool in my theater classes at Bridgewater State University.

One favorite: ‘Don’t Change the Words’ by David Lindsay-Abaire.
This week for our "What I'm Teaching Now" series, we're highlighting educator and Education Committee member, Lisa Rafferty! To read more about what Lisa is doing in the classroom, you can find her full "What I'm Teaching Now" article at the link in our bio.

Congratulations to Zohran Mandami and all the grassroots members of the Democratic Socialists who helped make this happen.
In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

I am, we are, we will - also.
There are trans Americans right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist.

Well, I am. We are. We will.

Democracy requires your courage.
