Pride started as a protest and it’s important to acknowledge that there is still work to be done to make our communities and our stages more inclusive. But there are still plenty of moments of joy to celebrate. We close out our pride takeover reflecting on the importance of joy and why it’s critical to foster it in the next generation.
One power that theatre and Pride share is the ability for people to see themselves and their stories reflected in public spaces. Molly continues our Pride takeover by sharing what initially drew them to theatre.
🏳️🌈 Happy Pride 🏳️⚧️ We’re celebrating pride month today with a takeover by CSC Teaching Artist and Education Coordinator, Molly Horton Booth.
