Possums & PlaysThe act of getting lost isn’t always a bad thing, this is especially true for actors when embracing ourselves to connect with the characters we play. Sometimes we might start out a little bit lost, I know I have. “How am I going to pull this off? Can I do this? Am I the right flavor for this story? What flavor am I? Rocky road? Mint chocolate chip? Have I eaten today?”

The Way Theatre Changes UsI feel very idealistic about theatre. I think it changes us. Whether we watch it, work it, perform it. Both witnessing and performing theatre builds empathy and emotional intelligence. The theatre lets us explore the human condition.

This Summer Connect With Your ImaginationObserve the world and refill your soul.
For many of us in theatre, summer is an off-season. Classes have ended and there is a noticeable shift in the air.

Yet many artists know the feeling of wanting to recharge without losing touch with their creativity.

Inspiring the Next Generation“Yes, and.” “Go before you’re ready.”
In a drama classroom, these phrases often begin as exercises, simple prompts to keep a scene moving. Over time, they become something more. They shape how students listen, how they respond, and how they move through uncertainty. What starts as a game becomes a way of thinking.

A.I. Didn't Kill Theatre 70 Years Ago, And It Isn't Going To NowIt is no secret that the rise of artificial intelligence in recent years has brought anxiety to artists. Generative technology can now produce its version of songs, scripts, images, and essays. The question many in the performing arts are asking is whether this moment is different; whether something essential is at risk.History suggests otherwise.

A Sense of BelongingIn a world where so much entertainment is consumed alone and on demand, live theatre remains one of the few shared experiences that requires presence, attention, and collective participation. It creates belonging not only among those on stage, but among everyone in the room.

Why Drama Matters - In Every Community, For Every Age.I often express a desire to ‘be in the room where it happens,’ and I love theatre because it puts everyone in the room: the actors, the production staff, the audience, and allows them all to have a role in that very special moment.
