I "Came Out" ... Less Afraid to Speak my Truth - Featuring Bill Rauch (he/him)

Featuring the Inaugural Artistic Director of The Perelman Performing Arts Center and former Artistic Director of Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Bill Rauch | he/him : Will is pleased to welcome Bill to this very special bonus episode. We begin by ruminating on the cyclical nature of storytelling feeding queerness and queerness feeding storytelling. Bill shares the trials and triumphs of being the first openly gay AD of OSF while urging all listeners to see the potential for outreach in even the most abrasive feedback. Will asks Bill to consider how directing his lifelong passion project, 2018’s genderqueer OKLAHOMA!, has forever changed his artistry. With the coming of the Winter Solstice, Will asks Bill to look ahead and expound on the future of The Perelman before a surprising end of year tarot spread.
