Muriel Miguel's #LegacyLeaders Video

"When I'm working with native students I realized 

its more than just teaching theatre, it's teaching 

respect, teaching generosity, vulnerability, trust . . . 

All those things you have to teach."

Sign up for the Legacy Forward team to help us celebrate Muriel Miguel,
the #LegacyLeaders, and theatres of color!
