This is a video I directed and produced for Triad Stage’s Season 20 Launch Event in February 2020. Weaving together my own story as a longtime audience member and eventual apprentice at the theater along with the experiences of various patrons and volunteers, the video celebrates the unique role Triad Stage plays in the North Carolina Piedmont.
