This is such a phenomenal way of showcasing talented members within our theater community and highlighting the work they have done and what is yet to come. I enjoyed how this article was a holistic approach to showcasing an abundance of theater leaders, but also exhibited their unique impact on their communities, mission statements and personal journey into the theatrical world. It is so incredibly important to recognize and uplift members within our theater community as to illustrate our gratitude for keeping the theater alive and spreading it to members young and old. I was very delighted to see a Carnegie Mellon faculty member, Kyle Haden on the list! What a huge accomplishment that depicts to me how grateful I am to be able to attend a school with educators such as Haden who are constantly making an impact through teaching and working on their own craft consistently. Since I will not be taught by Haden it was nice to read about his acting experience and reasoning as to why he is in the theater industry.
