This is an appreciation post for some CRAZY WONDERFUL theatre people.

It takes a village to create ANYTHING and these folx are participating in educational dialogue on topics that are UNCOMFORTABLE for theatre artists.

I'm currently editing these for the podcast feed. In the meantime, if you know these people, give them a ring and tell them THANK YOU for engaging boldly in these discussions.

Life is going a mile a minute and I can't thank everyone individually. But I'm so honored they are giving their time and energy.

P.S. I will tag them when their episode publishes. This is just a quick way to put gratitude out into the universe.
