Misha's birthday fundraiser for Local

This inspiring community of artists and audiences has been my artistic home for many years, and I couldn't be happier to have stepped into the role of Executive Director this season.

The timing feels especially meaningful, as this season began with the world premiere of our commission, Stockade. Stockade is a thematic prequel to Paper Cut, one of the first productions I worked on at Local. 

Both Stockade and my journey at Local are a testament to our dedication to supporting the development of stories and artists. This commitment extends to uplifting artists at all stages of their development through our LocalWRITES program in Title 1 middle schools, internship opportunities for college students, and playwriting classes for adults. 

I deeply believe in the power of theater to reshape our understanding of the past, illuminate our present, and inspire our future. Please consider including Local Theater Company in your year-end giving. Together, we are moving the story forward!
