Working on this play (our last performance is tonight): https://www.avalanchetheatre.com/production/girls%2C-girls%2C-girls! written by a brown woman, with a cast full of brown women, the first play I've ever seen (let alone worked on) where I know someone like every single one of the characters. It's been really healing for the kid who spent seven years of education (3 years of high school and 4 years of college) as the only South Asian kid doing theatre, and it's been a wonderful challenge for the adult who hasn't played a character in front of an audience for three years.
