I logged onto my social media platform on March 22nd, expecting the typical memes and sobering information about the pandemic COVID-19 on my feed and in my inbox. I saw that I was tagged by a grad school classmate on a post that linked to a Vulture article by Helen Shaw about some relief efforts for theatre arts professionals.

After the meeting the gala honoring Brian Dennehy was in full swing. Over $30,000 was raised fro

I surf Huffington Post more often than I'd like to admit - it's the way I procrastinate under the guise of making myself an informed citizen - and I came across this article: White Nationalists Gather On Halloween To Discuss How Oppressed They Are by Samantha Lachman. It's an article covering a meeting of 150-plus white men who gathered on Halloween to discuss their shared European heritage and identity, the future of whiteness in America... and how to unite around white in

Theatre Communications Group (TCG), is the national organization, founded in 1961, whose mission is to strengthen, nurture and promote the professional not-for-profit American theatre. As a newly elected Board Member of TCG, starting a two-year term of service July 1, 2015, this blog will be used to chronicle my advocacy participation and list TGC opportunities for engagement that I choose to highlight and am able to publicize through this platform.
