Stepping into the new year, I’m filled with excitement and so much gratitude!!

Most of all, I’m grateful for my many new collaborators and friends, for their patience with me as I try something I’ve never done before, for their generosity with their art, for their eagerness to experiment and explore, for this beautiful new beginning they’re making possible.

You know who you are— I raised a glass to you last night. Here’s to the start of a new adventure and to those who are taking the first steps beside me.

Full cast list is here!

I can’t wait for you to meet everybody and see all of their hard and generous work.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

All of the artists whose names are in the photo above are being compensated through ticket revenue, BUT we are performing only once and in a split bill, so I would love to be able to better show my appreciation for their commitment and contributions…and I am inviting you to help if you’re able.

This Christmas, please consider giving to a group of artists who are stepping outside of their comfort zones and coming together to try something new and challenging!
