"Since there isn’t usually a spotlight on us, it’s so easy for members of an ensemble to lose sight of how important their work is, so I love the Robe for its celebration of that work. The other thing I love about the Robe is that it's a tangible example of the theatre community's interconnectedness. When the robe is passed from show to show to show its path creates a web illustrating the support and love we all have for each other."
