the band’s visit one year anniversary → day six: cast/creative team/crew appreciation
I think I was so weird that I was just a weird person. I think there was a lot of, “We don’t know what to cast you as.” Rather than being typecast, there was a, “We don’t know what you are.” So I’ll go over there and do some things. - Katrina Lenk
“Theater can be such a potent force for change. It holds up a mirror to society and is a wonderful tool for empathy. We need that more than ever.” KATRINA LENK
the bands visit won 10 tonys , the bands visit is underrated

I think that that confidence that I had as a young woman has gone through with me all through my life. I’ve never been – I’ve never felt that I had to look, or appear, or be a certain way for a man, or indeed, for a woman. Nor would I expect a man or a woman to do that for me.
really in this wistful moxy mood today
