“I am a board member of the North Carolina Theatre Conference because I have seen, for decades, the work that it does to support theatre across our state. As a teacher, I have seen students grow in skill, in confidence, and in community awareness through the opportunities afforded to them through NCTC. They have grown not only as theatre artists, but as arts advocates, and as individuals who have learned that their stories matter.”
