Welcome to our series premiere! This week we are joined by director, designer, producer, and Associate Artistic Director David Mendizábal to talk about why blackouts are "for bad directors", growing up surrounded by storytelling, and what it's like being a leader of the global majority at a large nonprofit theatrical institution in 2023.
