"How do you write so much???"
In all honesty, I love the freedom I found with Shakespeare for riffing, adapting, and responding to others' works.
Because it gave new life to my own.

The whole team puts on a seamless comedic romp: excellently timed, lively momentum-there isn't a dull moment even for the ensemble characters. Everyone is fully invested, taking actions that may seem comedic to us, but feel absolutely earnest and genuine to them.
What's It Like Being An Aroace Actor?
On a general level, I describe myself as aroace: aromantic and asexual.
I’m still learning what microlabels most accurately describe the way I experience the world, but basically, I don’t experience sexual or romantic attraction.
