Hello all Well Arts fans!

My name is Amanda Andersen. I am a Board Member and an additional Admin for Well Arts page.

You may have seen me in a few Well Arts shows: Just Like You, The Unexpected Guest, and Maybe It's Because...I'm So Versatile.

I'd like to start getting to know our fan base.
What was your favorite Well Arts moment?

From our friends at United Cerebral Palsy of Oregon and Southwest Washington

It’s no secret that television programming offers a skewed image of our diverse society—one that’s whiter, straighter and more male. For example, 43% of characters on the 2015-16 cable and broadcast TV season were women , while in real life women make up roughly half of the population. But the small...
