Introducing Kelli Noonan, the director of our final main stage show for Season 118, How to Transcend a Happy Marriage. She "was especially drawn to the show's exploration of love as a force greater than the social boundaries we put around it, and to the wonderfully challenging, charming, and boundary-pushing work of Sarah Ruhl." You won't want to miss watching this creative process unfold!
