Which is why it fills me with such joy to introduce you to these two incredible powerhouses who are i…

Send Kira a text message! When discussing inclusion in musical theater and the arts, body diversity must be a part of that conversation. Actors come in all shapes and sizes—with all of the lived experiences that go along with their bodies. The audition process can be a source of trauma—or inspiration! The performances themselves can be hurtful—or e…

Send Kira a text message! Being a “consent-forward artist” or birthing a “care-forward creative space” sounds lovely, but it’s a BIG job. The theater industry has historically had a “just push through” mentality. Thankfully, we’ve seen that begin to shift in the last few years, but not without some damage being done. Leigh Barrett is a beloved Bost…

Send Kira a text message! Have you ever stopped to think about the people—the actual humans—whose bodies are telling stories on stage? Or about the history of musical theater?
