The Studio Theatre Tierra Del Sol Announces Third Season Line Up
by BWW News Desk - April 13, 2018
At some point in all of our lives we have felt like an outsider, like no one will ever accept us for who we are. We have all experienced that constant struggle between conforming to societal norms and the desire to fully express oneself. This year at The Studio Theatre we will look closely at all the wonderful things that make us different. But I hope that what we'll find is that those differences are the very things that bind us all together as human beings. We have selected four stories that share a common theme of searching for your true individuality. These stories will delve deeply into the experiences of those who feel that who they truly are will not be accepted by society. In Season Three we are having a party, a party of differences. Announcing The Studio Theatre Tierra del Sol's Third Season: "Individuality: Celebrate the Difference."-Whitney Morse, Artistic Director
