I have spent over 20 years studying and producing the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. I am also a trained gender and sexuality educator, certified facilitator, and active in the Pledge to End Racism and will have access to voices other than my own to educate around sensitive topics.

We will not gloss over these topics; rather, we will examine them in the context of the time period as well as our current cultural context(s).
