Artistic Director Mills said, “Last season, both in original work and our Pride collaboration in June 2026 with Normal Heart looked at the harsher side of our world view.  We decided to choose plays that would continue to look at our world with more intimate and softer examinations of rites of passage. The title of this season’s choices was also influenced by sculpture by artist Carla Rae Johnson of Peekskill, which will grace the stage for the production.”
