ABOUT JOAN:

As a Theater Artist, I whole-heartedly believe that...

  • ​Live theater has the power to inspire empathy through shared experiences

  • Art can - and should - be a vehicle for positive change in the world

  • White cis-het artists have a responsibility to uplift marginalized voices and help create theater spaces that are anti-racist and LGBTQ+ inclusive

  • Accessible arts education is a vital community resource that we should all be fighting to protect 

  • All body types are beautiful and deserve to be seen onstage
