The Washington Post: A week before Christmas, Kent Gash is moving diligently among the seats inside the Studio Theatre. His instructions for the actors and stage hands are soft but firm, and his tone is somewhere between professorial and pastoral. He’s trying to block a scene in which he wants his actors to appear holding candles, with no house lights. “I don’t know if I’m going to get away with that,” he laughs.

I never identified with any social title, however because I can fall under many of those categories (young mixed race woman living in america with a single mom attending a private university), I am constantly intrigued by people, especially artists, who have strong feelings about social identities and being forced to either identify with them, ignore them, or deal with criticism if one chooses to recognize their identities or choose to not identify at all. I like that these issues of identity and living as a minority and what that struggle really looks like through art. It's important to address these issues and it is even more important to share that discussion with the world. Art is an attention grabber which attracts a greater audience than maybe just saying an essay about the American struggle.
