Meet Lisa Mitchell, Director of Education and Audience Engagement at Disney Theatrical Group in New York, NY, and Affiliate Member of the Broadway League. “The arts are what makes us human. And, unfortunately, we live in a world where not everyone has access to them. As Director of Education and Audience Engagement, my team and I take a production and deepen its impact in schools and communities across the U.S. and U.K. I believe this work is essential, not just from an access or human development point of view, but from a future of our industry point of view: to develop future storytellers, theatre makers, and audiences in tandem with our educational system. I can’t think of anything more powerful than that.”

Join us in celebrating with a special reflection from , who made history as the first Asian female composer to receive a -nomination for her work on KPOP:
“My heritage is an integral part of my identity and it profoundly shapes my creative process. Growing up within both Korean and American cultures, I experienced firsthand the stark contrast between external perceptions and underlying realities. I’ve discovered that musical theatre, in particular, has a remarkable ability to bridge these gaps. This, paired with the realization that we are all humans in the end, has ignited a deep passion in me to tell universal stories and bring people together through my work.”
Happy Asian-American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month!⭐
