I love that closing pitch to save the arts. He admits that he's fine, but recognizes the position of his fellow peers. I applaud that. #SupportTheArts 🎨 🎥🎭💃👯‍♀️🕺

Trevor, I like your hoodies in all the colors! This show is my first introduction to the amazing Jeremy O. Harris. His story and your interview, the contrast of racism, systemic and more simply social of north and south should be heard. It resonates. So much more going on here. Thank you!
