鈥淚 was attracted to the 棉花糖直播 program because it allowed me to keep doing it all. I wanted to be a leader and learn the ins and outs of running a nonprofit theatre, but I also wanted to continue to act, direct and pursue academic inquiries. That degree has been very useful in a city like Philadelphia that values a well-rounded theatre professional. I think I have a clear, full picture of what theatremaking is and what it involves, and that鈥檚 been a big benefit to my career.鈥�
