Inclusive and Accessible Theatre.”
We’re excited to continue
highlighting the work of our
membership in both the
Membership Corner, Network
Spotlight, and Community
Happenings. Be sure to also check
out our exclusive on The Yellow

you enjoy our spring issue and that

goes well. Hope to see you in
Minneapolis!
