 As a TheaterMaker, wearing many hats is something you know a lot about. 

But what if you need help understanding one of those hats?

And what if you can’t afford to spend a lot of money to help you understand? 

We’ve got you covered. :-) 

I want you to check out...

If you follow me on instagram, then you know I saw The Lehman Trilogy before it closed.

And I’m still thinking about it.

Ever seen the smash hit series, Fleabag?  You know, that show that won its creator and star, Phoebe Waller Bridge, like 147 Emmys?

If you haven't seen Tick, Tick...BOOM! yet, get thee to your Netflix account.
