Let me begin with three declarations. First, I view engagement and service through a lens colored by the diverse and sometimes competing elements of my background in business, social work and the arts. Second, community engagement and service are based on the premise that theater is a powerfully impactful driver of social change. Third, all stage writers—playwrights, librettists, composers, and lyricists—become trustees and guardians of the communities we engage when we take on a role of change agent.
