Apparently, over the summer, she works at the Denver Center for Performing Arts.

And so this summer, she was talking to some of the people at the Buell, the musical theater, and was like, hey, do you want to come to my school and we can put out a musical with the kids? And they were like, sure.

I taught acting at Yale summer programs every summer.

So I'd go around the country to, you know, Denver Center, Mark Taper Forum, Dallas Theater Center, Portland Stage.

It feels so
