I believe in stories that require trigger warnings.
I believe the theater to be a communal empathetic exercise.
I believe in stretching my audiences.
I believe in being unapologetically political.
I believe in the representation of women and non-white people onstage.
I believe in jokes.
I believe in tearing down that fourth wall tout suite!
I believe in bringing people back to themselves.
I believe in the presence of love, especially when surrounded by all the hatred and profanity our world has to offer.
