Actors Eddie Jordan III, Jaron Salazar, David Hornreich, Maura Kidwell and Rhonda Marie Bynum.

  • Spark dialogue about mental health issues by presenting professional theatrical productions to the general public.

  • Provide space for young people to express themselves via artistic residencies.  Click on the image below to hear from Kyasia and Danyell, two high school students who benefit from Erasing the Distance donations by participating in one of our residencies.
