“Arts workers have nowhere to go. We are not merely out of work, we are prevented from work. To have the promise of one’s entire life ripped away over and over again, becoming more agonizing with each pull, isn’t just infuriating, it’s exasperating.”

“Ironically, one of the most oft-cited benefits of theatre is a more just, equitable, and empathetic understanding of the world. Arts workers are now desperately relying on that same empathy to help ensure our Senate will not abandon this essential field and the hundreds of thousands across the country who make it possible.”
