Tonight I had the pleasure of watching graduates perform in the North Central College Senior Showcase. I'm always inspired to see young people who are passionate about theatre put in the work to explore and to create. Theatre is so much more than dressing up in a costume and saying lines. It teaches us about the human condition, about empathy. It's where we learn to express what others are feeling, to understand what we might be feeling ourselves, and where we find a bit of calm amid the chaos.

I wish these seniors well and look forward to their work as professional artists in Chicago!
