I am not OK! Stephen Colbert and team have supported our work with young people for years! From immersive all day field trips to professional workshops on writing, set design, editing - they are directly responsible for our youth run program “The Afternoon Show” becoming a reality for my production partner and I and our team of young people at the Lower Eastside Girls Club.
Here’s a few photos over the years along with our top five from 2020 which is a lot to see in retrospective.
So many thoughts on this situation. Things that make you go hmmmm…
