About Artists Envision the Future:
“In the pandemic’s early days, we sponsored a discussion with local artistic directors and Peter, grappling with what the new environment would mean for theatre,” says Jason Loewith, OTC Artistic Director. “One of the big takeaways from that discussion was that there were a lot more perspectives we need to hear. Not just Artistic Directors, but actors, stage managers, playwrights, and directors. We’re grateful Peter graciously agreed to sign up for more.”
