MARCH 9, 2011

With a “have fun, do good” attitude, the rewards are plenty: • Instead of a group, we have a community. There has to be a reason for actors, designers, and stage managers to show up, stay late and put their heart into it. People’s true selves come out to play (and we’re shiny!) • Creative sparks fly. We know our impact.
