The beautiful thing about AUD is our intergenerational make-up. Our elders offer us wisdom in exchange for innovation and we do what’s best together.

The “A” in AUD stands for “access.” Accessibility is at our core. If you notice, Sonji Fouse, AUD member, signs at most of our performance.

Afterwards people asked us what church we belonged to, which we replied, we’re a theatre troupe.
