My latest piece on what it really takes to shift culture, share power, and create a better work environment in the theater! Thanks to the staff, artists, and board for sharing their stories!

SHE COMES FROM THE DIRT by Karina Billini estyoungblood.libsyn.com/episode-two-sh…

It is bittersweet as we prepare for our fearless leader to step down, after guiding us through 36 productions, 9 marathons, & countless readings and workshops. But we look forward to this opportunity to restructure our org and move into a new phase!

Not to mention the massive impact on theatre adjacent business, restaurants, and hospitality. Please help our culture and economy get back on track by making a plan for relief and stimulus for non-profits and the arts. @SenGillibrand @SenSchumer @RepJerryNadler @RepMaloney

Nonprofit theatres were some of the first to close when COVID hit, and we'll be some of the last businesses to open again. What does that mean for NYC?  That's 120,000 jobs and $8.1 billion of economic activity that will have to stay on pause for 2020 in a city that needs it.
